  • The Smith Carbine was an American Civil War era carbine, which used a breechloading mechanism. With 30,000 examples produced, the Smith has generated a large following, unlike other breechloading firearms of that era (such as the Maynard Carbine of Triplett & Scott Carbine) which were largely forgotten to history.
  • The Smith Carbine was a 0.50 caliber breech loading rifle patented by Gilbert Smith on June 23, 1857 and successfully completed the Military Trials of the late 1850s.
