Pietta Smith .50-Caliber Carbine-Cavalry Model

Developed in the late 1850s, the Smith Carbines were widely used by Union forces during the Civil War and were a favorite firearm with settlers heading west afterwards. An innovative hinged breech action allowed quick and easy reloads, even by shooters on horseback. This model is a functional replica of the original cavalry model outfitted with a saddle bar ring. It’s compact and fast-handling with a short hardwood stock and adjustable sights. Right hand only.
Caliber: .50.
Barrel length: 21-5/8" with a 1-in-66" rate of twist.
Overall length: 39".
Weight: 7.7 lbs.

Nice Looking, not accurate for competition.

The carbine looks very nice. Everything is very tight (perhaps too tight). Out of the box it is not very accurate. I had to have a new lining put in the barrel (more money). Now it shoots great. I would recommend as long as you are aware of the accuracy issues.

They dob't get any nicer!!!

I have owned mine for over 15 years. I have what is known as the "Artillary Model". It is exactly the same but without the saddle ring. I have bought 40 brass cartridges and use toilet paper at the bottom which gives me instant ignition and then a charge of FFFg black powder but you can use any legitimate BP or substitute. FFFFg would work also. I really can not get 40 grains to fit so about 35 is the max load. I can't tell you how much fun it is to shoot. What surprises me is the large amount of interest it generates at the range. I have 7 BP rifles. No cheapies and about 9 pistols. But it is this Smith carbine that has gotten me many shooting sessions as swaps with other rifleman at the range. For years I have wanted a Spencer or Burnside carbine and I will get one or both but I can't picture either of them being more enjoyable to shoot. I have become a big fan of Pietta. Quality, fit, finish and details are as good as anyone else. Value is just slightly better. The Smith is an excellent piece.
