So I went to a LGS/ pawn/ jewelry (place I bought the wife's ring in fact) today and saw a repro civil war musket I liked the look of. It was an ArmiSport .58 cal 1853 Enfield 3 band. Looked like a reenactor ruffed up the finish on purpose. They wanted $600. Question is not about whether that's a good price. The musket had attached to the wrist of the stock by way of a bunch of plastic wrap what appeared to me at least to be a bolt assembly off an older .22 lr bolt action rifle. I asked the clerk what this was and why is came with the gun. The staff at this establishment knows absolutely nothing about firearms. The kid was honest that he had no idea what it was but offered the suggestion that it's "maybe something to pour the powder in" lol I know it's not that. So question is did Enfield muskets have some kind of accessory or perhaps cleaning tool that upon first glance might resemble a rimfire rifle bolt assembly?
