This video delves into the Tallassee Carbine, the Confederate States of America's last-ditch effort to design a standard pattern cavalry carbine in 1863. The design was quickly developed at the Richmond Arsenal, featuring a 25-inch barrel and brass furniture with an Enfield-style lock. Due to security concerns in Richmond, production was moved to Tallassee, Alabama, utilizing a former cotton mill. Despite efforts to establish the Tallassee Arsenal, production was slow, and only a few hundred carbines were completed by April 1865, before the Confederacy's collapse. These carbines never saw combat, and their ultimate fate remains uncertain, with theories suggesting they were used for mill rebuilding. Today, fewer than a dozen are known to exist, primarily in museum collections. The video highlights the historical significance of this rare firearm and its connection to the Confederacy's final struggles.

This video explores the SC Robinson Confederate Sharps Carbine, a firearm produced during the American Civil War. Facing a shortage of armaments, the Confederacy relied on entrepreneurs like Samuel Robinson, who established the Robinson Arms Manufactory in Richmond, VA. Initially contracted to convert flintlock muskets, Robinson was tasked with producing a copy of the Sharps carbine for Confederate cavalry. Between December 1862 and March 1863, approximately 1900 carbines were made by Robinson. Impressed by his work, the Confederate government bought out his operation in March 1863, converting it into a government arsenal that continued producing Sharps carbines until the war's end, adding another 3500 units. The video details the distinguishing marks between Robinson's early production and later government-issued carbines, including serial number ranges and lock plate markings.
