William C. Oates, in his book THE WAR BETWEEN THE UNION AND THE CONFEDERACY, says of arms, "The Colonel [James Canty] had obtained enough Mississippi rifles to arm two companies, and they were given to his old company and that of Major [John W. L.] Daniel; or whether he obtained all of these arms or not, these two companies had them. For the other eight, old altered smooth-bore George Law muskets were all the arms to be had."

The book's index is scanty at best, and finding references to uniforms and arms can only be done by reading. Hence a bit more study needs to be done to find anything else. Maybe this will be a start...
