This video delves into the Joslyn M1862 and M1864 Carbines, firearms that saw service during the US Civil War. It highlights how cavalry units, unlike infantry, widely adopted various carbine designs. The evolution of the Joslyn carbine is discussed, from its initial 1855 paper cartridge design to the later brass rimfire versions favored by the US Army. The description details the limited production of the 1862 pattern and the more substantial adoption of the 1864 pattern, noting its chambering for the same .56-.52 cartridge as the popular Spencer carbines.
