British Line Infantry - Minifigs S Range

    Thanks for the kind comments. Yes, you are correct, the 4th Division units on arrival in the Crimea were armed with the 1842 smooth bore Lovell musket. They were later issued with the 1853 pattern Enfield Rifle, although I am not exactly sure when these were delivered. It seems that the 1853 Enfield was the replacement for the Minie Rifle across the army.
