        Austrian rifles!
        I honestly would have never imagined that for these fellows.
        Outstanding work Will.

          Am I right in thinking the Austrian 54 caliber rifles were handed in because of receiving better ones after Chickamauga? And only one out of three returned long-arms included a bayonet being returned.
