    Rifled Variant of M1842 Springfield

    They did exist and some were used at Antietam. Any plans to add them?

    What would be the point? All rifles except carbines shoot and reload the same, no discernible difference in accuracy, reload, fatigue etc shooting a early "500 meter" rifled musket and a later "1000meter" rifle.
    Even if there were quantifiable differences, there is no rifle progression, from early volunteer company grandpa rifles to professional units that equip a certain rifle.

    Would love to see more rifles and muskets added to the game a lot is missing.

    If we're talking adding other weapons then how about Maynard carbines for the cavalry, maybe early model Burnsides?
