Re: Northern Target Rifle (NTR) during WBTS

Probably quite a number did since they were most likely sent home during the war. Later in the war, there was a shortage and Mattox does mention awaiting shipment of ten from storage in Washington, D.C.

Problem is whether the ones shipped home survived the years. If one's children doesn't appreciate it or understand its significance, it could have been sold, traded off, etc. Provenance would be lost and the stories that went with it.
