The Burnside was one of the most widely used Union carbines of the Civil war. This 54 caliber, percussion breech-loading carbine fired a unique cone shaped cartridge. The 4th model was made in 1863 and 1864. It features the redesigned breech block with a hinged center section that facilitates loading. The difference between the 4th model and 5th model (Model 1864) is that the 4th model does not have a centrally located breech block guide screw on the left side of the frame. About 7,000 4th models were produced with most being used heavily during the Civil War. This carbine's 21"" round barrel has a good bore with strong rifling and firing wear. All the metal has a smooth gold-brown patina. The breech block serial number, 8570, and the frame number match. The standard Burnside markings are present. The sling bar and ring are present and the frame has the series of dents and dings behind the bar that indicate that it was carried by the cavalry. The buttstock is good with no cracks or chips and the wear expected of a cavalry carbine that was carried and heavily used. The forearm is about good with missing wood along the barrel line on the left and a chip at the band on the right. The forend screw is absent. The nipple is broken flush (but you're not going to shoot it anyway!). The action functions correctly. These 4th model Burnside carbines are hard to find. This is a very good representative example that obviously saw action.
