The spot illustration replicates the officer’s rifle owned by Kings Mountain National Military Park which has the distinctive cross-hatching on the stock where it joins the lock. The rifle is shown with its ramrod in place and the breechloading mechanism closed.; a partial cutaway, close-up detail of the Ferguson rifle’s breechloading mechanism showing the screw plug open exposing the threads, a ball (round bullet) in the chamber, and a powder horn pouring black powder into the open chamber; and two bayonets (top bayonet is preferable to reproduce as it shows the long reach needed by the Ferguson rifle, although the bayonet depicted at the bottom is also for a Ferguson rifle, the angle makes it look more appropriate for a Brown Bess musket, however the musket bayonet would be shorter than illustrated here).
