Johnny Reb,
That is a caliber .577 Model 1853 Enfield. It shoots Minies to the battle sight at 100 yards with 60 grains of Goex 2F. About 500,000 were used in total by both sides in the Civil War. My unit is Company E, 42nd Regiment, The Bucktails, that was recruited right here in 1861 in Tioga County.
