Looking for any info on a 5th model Burnside

[lancerboo1990]

 I recently bought a Burnside 5th model calvary carbine serial number # 1940 any idea of value ? Where it was issued originally ?

Well, I don't have any of the info you want, but I can say it lookd interesting! Several of the guys who may know something are on the road now to the Department of the Missouri Muster, so replies may be slow for a few days.

Empty brass cases are available if you want to shoot it. They are expensive but should last for a long time.
