~off topic~ 

from my experience with both brown bess ,the postdam and the Charleville i would have to say brown bess due to cleaning is easier, n it is more rugged and reliable, and the kick from the Brown bess is very much like the enfield

I like the look of the springfield but the feel of the enfield. In battle I dont notice a difference.
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

also for some reason, Springfield feels more heavier than Enfield to me.

Odd,  the Enfield weighs half a pound more than the 1861 Springfield which weighs 9lbs. The 1842 Springfield weighs 10lbs but that is because it is 2 inches longer in the Barrel and is a 69 cal compared to the .577 and .58 from the Enfield P-53 and the Springfield M-61.   ;)

I think it's because the enfield is more balanced than the Spirngfield. From my experience the Enfield seems best for me overall.
