Could you guys bring me up to spec on what these discoveries are as I have lost contact with any new development. I would be very grateful. Have remains been found at LBH battlefield recently? Sounds very intriguing! At the moment I am immersed in Fetterman and reading both of the Ladies Carrington memoirs and also Shannon Smith. Just finished Dee Brown and Monnett and looking forward to the eyewitness (Native American) accounts of the battle. However, I need a respite so am going to head back from Lodge Trail Ridge and hopefully when and if you guys respond to this post I can read about any new developments at LBH. Thank you.

Here you go, Justin. A picture of a carbine. How would you suggest that would place it on the battlefield? View AttachmentIf you don't match an identified Springfield weapon, that does not prove it was not there. The recovered case(s) places it on the battlefield, not a picture. If you fire it and it matches, it does not increase the number of identified Springfield weapons. The only way to increase the number of identified Springfield weapons is to find a case on the battlefield that doesn't match the known data set. Regards Steve One apology was enough . You don't need to keep apologizing. You seem to agree that the picture of the carbine you pictured was not the one that actually shot any of those shells that were found near the Willy Bends place. Why do you keep agreeing and then try to argue some more? Rosebud The only one apologizing is you. You would make a good contrary warrior. You didn't understand that firearms on the battlefield are identified by fired cases found on the battlefield. It's OK to admit that you didn't understand how the professionals identify firearms from a fired case. Did you really think that Douglas Scott had all 69 identified Springfield Carbines in his possession and /or the knowledge of them as you described in your post?
If you were knowledgeable in forensics, you would know that parts could be changed, and the identifying signature would also change. For example, we know that the ejector was modified, doubling in length where it contacts the bolt. The tool mark where it contacts the case rim would also change. Think of the tool marks as being similar to a fingerprint. Changing the bolt or even a firing pin could change the signature.
Regards
Steve
