[DL] Henry's vs Winchester's

["TFM" <tfm@post.pl>]

Howdy Lad's & Ladies!

Simple Question: How was war industry split after forming of CSA? Where from
Southeners get their guns? AFAIK the most important firearms manufacturing
companies remained in Yankee hands. How gun trade is controlled by
government forces of both nations?

And Another Simple Question: What was real difference between Henry and
Winchester rifles? Price of Henry rifle is somewhat high (35$ according to
Law Dogs), so I guess it is not 1877 price, but cost of gun when it was
introduced, back in 1862(???). Also, how widespread are this both types of
lever-action rifles in 1877?

Yours Sincerely
