Volunteers originally had a form of Rigby rifling, later changed to Henry (denoted by a H prefix to the serial number). Reference: 'Burnside Breechloading Carbines and Rifles by Edward Hull Pgs. This is known as the 5th Model to collectors and is a single shot carbine. Pitch should be 1 in 78 to match originals, but some were made with 1 in 48 pitch. Description: Here is a decent Model 1864 Burnside carbine chambered in. If you have Pattern 1853 Enfield, if possible please check the rifling pitch and let me know - a tight fitting patch on a cleaning rod should give a good enough measure. This code is invaluable in building an understanding of the production time line. The Burnside Carbine had a barrel measuring in at 21 inches with an overall length of 39.5 inches - suitable for specialized battlefield elements such as cavalry - essentially infantrymen on horseback and trained in the use of the sabre and powerful mounted-charges. If possible please include the date proof code from the underside of the barrel two letters and a number either between crossed swords or within a circle after the proof load information. I'm keen to hear from anyone (use direct message for privacy if you wish) who will let me know the serial number of any Parker-Hale muzzle loading rifle they own / know of, along with its type (P.53, P.58, P.61, Volunteer or Whitworth). on: September 17, 2011, 04:45:01 PM Two Flints - Sir - I know this isn't one of our Spencers, but I recently bought a very nice Burnside, 5th Model, serial number 13819. I have a database of over 600 Parker-Hale rifles.
