This video explores a unique Confederate Gillam & Miller Rolling Block rifle transformation, highlighting how muzzleloading rifles were converted to cartridge-firing firearms in the post-Civil War South. The description emphasizes the rarity of the Gillam & Miller pattern, with only 677 produced for North Carolina. It explains the process of using existing rifle components with a new Remington Rolling Block action to create a more modern firearm at a lower cost than a new rifle. The example shown illustrates the practical, hard-use nature of firearms in the post-war era, updated for continued utility.
