A survey of owners of British falling block rifles made it apparent that not many people had more than a few of these rifles, and generally not more than one or two of any one type. There was, therefore, little opportunity for individuals to compare one of their rifles with others of its type. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the various patents, tell how these patents were utilized, and in what quantities the rifles were made; to try to establish serial number ranges and show details of action variations and their development.
