1841 Mississippi Rifle
The 1841 Mississippi Rifle, originally a .54 caliber percussion muzzleloader, was a significant firearm of the mid-19th century. Many were later re-bored to .58 caliber to match Springfield standards. It gained fame during the Mexican-American War for its accuracy and reliability, particularly when used by Jefferson Davis's regiment. The rifle features a distinctive brass patch box and historically lacked bayonet lugs, often paired with Bowie knives.
