I'm thinking of starting blackpowder shooting and was looking at going with a reproduction Civil War 1862 Springfield three band rifle.

Are there any good reproduction makers out there that anyone would recommend ?
 
I'm pretty sure that Pedersoli makes them. I do know that Pedersoli's quality is generally very good, but I just don't know what models they produce.
 
The trouble with the reproduction Enfields is that they're patterend after the post-war Enfields (wrong barrel bands) and take some work to make them appear like Civil War guns. This is an issue with the shooters in the N-SSA or with reenactors who strive for authenticity. As a shooter, I don't care and am happy to put bullets down range.
 
Only difference between the bands on my Armi Sport and original dated 1861 is the screws. Not that much noticeable difference.
