Because the Burnside carbine did not have an ejection system to remove spent shell casings, soldiers would use sent casings to remove the hot shell casing from the bore. We sold one found in the Richmond area that had twenty casings!
Found by local resident and relic hunter John Cullison, later part of the Rosensteel Family Collection, owners of the Electric Map Museum and then National Park Service Museum. [ws]
