[8)]Have looked, HI and LOW, for a "Morse" Navy rifle in .58 cal., in USED condition. [;)]Don't care about looks,just function. [^]I like the style of this rifle,with its large brass frame and shotgun style stock and simple works. [:)]If any one knows of such a item, please advise. Thank You. [:D]

One was the Morse Carbine, a .50 breechloader built with machinery the Confederates captured from the Harper's Ferry Armory.
The other is the Morse "Inside Lock" .71 smoothbore percussion musket.
Navy Arms offered what they called a "Morse" rifle, a .50 percussion rifle with a 26 inch barrel, apparently not a copy of either original gun.
