Sturdy, reliable, and extremely accurate even at extended ranges, it consistently outshot everything but theWhitworth
and quickly became a favorite on both sides. The Confederates imported more Enfields during the course of the war
than any other small arm, buying from private contractors and gun runners when the British government refused to
sell them arms after it became obvious that the Confederacy could not win the war. It has been estimated that over
900,000 1853 Enfields were imported to America and saw service in every major engagement from the Battle of
Shiloh (April, 1862) and the Siege of Vicksburg (May 1863), to the final battles of 1865.
The 39” barrel was fastened to the stock with three metal bands, so that the rifle was often called a “three band”
model. Enfield also produced several shorter versions of its rifle-musket, all of which had 33-inch barrels and an
overall length of 48½ inches. They were often called “two-band” Enfields after the number of bands securing the
barrel and quickly became the top choice for Confederate sharpshooters, as they were lighter and handier.
