The Brits etal were using Rigby LR percussion rifles. I had one which I bought in OZ land and sold to a LR target shooter in da Netherlands. To be used at the Wimbledon matches in the UK.
The guy flew his gunsmith into LV, rented a car, paid for his room and incidental expenses along with xraying the barrel on the rifle before purchase..
You wana know the real reason why the Americans won the match. I believe it was one of the Irish team members INADVERTENTLY SHOT AT THE WRONG TARGET.
I have a LR Borchardt..and one of the best Whitworth military match spoons extant in the world..
