Hello,
My gr gr grandfather was in Co. "K", Col. Micah Jenkins' "Palmetto SharpShooters", Longstreet's Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, C.S.A. It was originally intended to be a crack unit of Sharpshooters the equivilent of Berdan's SharpShooters (Union).  People usually say that due to lack of lagistics and material, equipment and arms it wound up being just another infantry unit.  
 
But I do know that at least in 1862 during the Battle of Seven Pines or the Seven Days battles that they had at least some long range rifles.  General Longstreet wrote that while he and other officers met to reconnoiter that they were under Union artillery fire.  He said that he sent a note to Col Jenkins, who was in that vicinity, to silence the union battery, "Supposing that he could do so with his longrange rifles."  
 
Also, years ago Civil War Times Illustrated had an article entitled "The Guns of the Palmetto SharpShooters".  In it, it had some pics of some guns, I think around 7 or 8 guns.  Mostly it was a motley collection of various intantry weapons, but I do remember there was at least one Kerr rifle.  Perhaps that is what Longstreet meant when he said long range rifles.  Remember in 1862 they were still well uniformed and armed. In 1865 there were few left of the once magnificant unit, and they had picked up what they could as their original issue was either lost or destroyed.  
 
Just thought someone might find that interesting.

That is interesting Dave.  If only so much of the Confederate records and such were not destroyed during and after the war.  The untold amounts of historical info that was lost could help out historians, researchers, etc, so much.
Take care,
