Enfield Carabiner 1853 – The Thunder of the British Empire

From the heart of British industry to the heat of 19th-century battlefields, the Enfield 1853 Karabiner was more than a weapon: it was a standard, a defense, and a witness to warring empires.

This impressive replica of the Enfield Carabiner , also known as the Pattern 1853 Enfield , faithfully reproduces one of the most emblematic rifles of the 19th century. Used by the British Empire and massively adopted by Confederate troops during the American Civil War , this rifle marked a before and after in the history of muzzle-loading weapons.

The Long Sheet of the Victorian Infantry

The Enfield 1853 was a long musket-rifle, designed to provide effective range in close formations and simultaneously serve as an improvised lance with a fixed bayonet. Chambered in .577 (15 mm) and loaded with Minié bullets, it offered devastating firepower for its time. Its three-barreled rifled barrel greatly improved accuracy, and its muzzle-loading system was simple but effective.

From Crimea to America: A Combat Race

Approved by the British War Department in 1853, the Enfield saw extensive use in key conflicts such as the Crimean War (1853–1856) and the American Civil War (1861–1865) . Its ruggedness and effectiveness made it the most commonly imported rifle by the Confederate States , who relied on it more than any other during the war years. With a production run exceeding 1,500,000 units , the Enfield Karabiner was a key piece in the military chess game of the 20th century.
