It's a bit odd seeing a Remington Zouave rifle here, considering its use is highly frowned upon in the reenactor community. 20,000 of these were produced, but none were ever issued during the war; a pity, since they were found in shooting tests to be highly accurate. When reenacting started catching on, the unused Zouave rifles became quite popular, given the used state of actual frontline weapons and the rarity of reproduction companies. But today, many groups will not allow Remington Zouave rifles, since they are not period accurate and their shorter barrel length can place the muzzle dangerously close to the face of a crouched shooter in volley fires. And to reiterate: none were ever issued, not even to Zouave regiments, which typically carried Enfields and Springfields (even early on in the war, as a testament to their elite status.)
