    Not saying anyone is wrong... but...

    Smith states in his Gas, Air and Spring Guns of the World book on page 34, very last line, "Accuracy is excellent, as the barrels were well-rifled evn in 1871."

    It seems Smith was referring to his own Quackenbush combination guns (a Haviland and Gunn model) dated 1871 amd 1878.

    So it would seem that he had hands on experience of an 1871 rifled airgun.
