    What is an "end cap?"

    Hello,

    I was reading the description on a Model 1853 Enfield Rifled Musket marked 1862 Tower and it says "end cap is numbered 479."

    I am trying to figure out if this was a Civil War used weapon and I have seen many Confederate used Enfields marked with similar 3 digit and 4 digit inventory numbers on parts of the weapon such as the butt plate and the underside of the rifle.

    Just wondering what an end cap is so I have an idea where is is marked.

    Thanks

    I believe the reference of 'end cap' is the same as 'nose cap', the brass piece at the front (or end) of the stock.

      So it would be that metal piece at the business end of the rifle in between the ramrod and the muzzle:
