U.S. Primary Infantry Rifles from the Civil War thru the end of WW2

Notes: There were many firearms used during the course of history, especially during the Civil War, and so this list represents just SOME of the rifles used, but in most cases will be the primary adopted arm, and not the ones used in small numbers or experimented with. Sorry Johnson fans 🙂
