Union soldiers, especially cavalry and snipers used breech-loading carbines early in the Civil War.
Sharps models 1859 and 1863 and Spencer model 1860 used rear loading paper cartridge rifles were in use early in the civil war, often purchased by the soldier, not the Federal Armory.
Both Sharps and Spencer rifles were favorite sniper rifles.
Cavalry were frequent pioneer users of easy to load and repeating firearms.
