Mike, Not all of them had barrel liners added, That's why I asked about the number of grooves. Also, These were used by the US Cavalry during the Indian Wars. The 9th & 10th Cav (Buffalo Soldiers) were issued these.
In the Span-Am War mostly 30-40 Krags were used & some 45-70 Trapdoors. (The 71st NY went up San Juan with Teddy & carried Trapdoors) I've never heard of a 50-70 being used in Span-Am & doubt it because the ammo would have been obsolete by then.
Regards,
