This video details the rare Merrill breechloading conversion of the 1841 Mississippi Rifle. Originally a muzzle-loader, these conversions were experimental, with only about 100 made. The Merrill system utilized a top lever and ramming mechanism for breech loading. The rarity is amplified by the destruction of the Harpers Ferry Arsenal during the Civil War.
