The Warner Carbine, a Civil War breech-loader, featured a pivoting breechblock mechanism. Early Warner-Greene models in .50 Warner rimfire were followed by a second pattern in .56 Spencer, some of which were later sold as surplus to France and potentially converted to centerfire. Despite its innovative design, troops disliked it due to ammunition issues and extraction failures.
