This video explores the Lindner carbine, an early US cavalry breechloading carbine that utilized .58 caliber paper cartridges during the Civil War. Despite an initial order for 892 units, Lindner's improved design was ultimately rejected by the Army due to the obsolescence of paper cartridges with the advent of metallic cartridges. The Army's refusal to send an inspector allowed them to legally avoid purchasing the improved carbines, leading Lindner to sell his surplus stock in Europe. The description highlights a legal, albeit "slimy," maneuver by the government to exit the contract.
