Don't alarm Gabriel unduly, Blair .... The parts are correct for his rifle, or in any event can certainly be made to fit. He must replace the fore-stock tip anyway, and can fit its contours to the band and nosecap, rather than having to fit those parts to an existing stock. Also, if the parts are truly made specifically to fit a Pattern 1856 rifle, that is as I would expect for any such parts to be useable with all of the models of Short Rifle. For nose cap and barrel-band fitting purposes, the critical difference of the Pattern 1860 and 1861 variants was a slightly heavier barrel profile, which would simply necessitate the removal of a bit more metal from the inner surface of the barrel band, and from the barrel contour of the nosecap, during fitting.
