What would be a period correct long gun (short of a Sharps), to go with an Old Army style .44 revolver and a pre "War Of Union Agression" Cavalry rig? I'm trying to stay inexpensive.
Hmmm. I thought they carried sabres and fought from horseback. The cavalry has always been a mounted fighting force as their primary mission. Dismounting and fighting as infantry was secondary and rarely used as a strategy, I believe.They fought more as foot soldiers and used the horses to get from battle to battle.
