I'm basically a Springfield collector (1865-1915), but do have some interest in early rolling blocks, since several versions of same were made by the government, under license, at SA, from 1868 through 1872.

Author of the 2006 book "The .58 and .50 Rifles and Carbines of The Springfield Armory, 1865-1872".
