British army collectors and historians, what rifle would they have used in the 1890s while on guard duty?

I'm very excited to join this community. I started with 1/6 figures with a collection of US soldiers representing each of the nation's main wars/battles, starting with the Revolutionary War, all the way to Afghanistan. Thanks for having me.

Hi all: I've often wondered how to make 1/6th patches. I have GIMP so what advice can you give me? I have a scanner so I guess that can be useful ;) Finally how can I configure my patches so that they fit in a 8,5 X11 " /A4 size paper? Thanks! xavier
