Description:
SUPER SALE PRICED AT $2180. RARE 1861 ORIGINAL NAMED CIVIL WAR SPRINGFIELD RIFLE
The Model 1861 was certainly a step forward in U.S. small arms design, being the first rifled shoulder weapon to be produced on such a large scale. The 1861 was a rifled musket used by the United States Army and Marine Corps during the American Civil War. Commonly referred to as the "Springfield" (after its original place of production, Springfield, Massachusetts) It was the most widely used Union Army shoulder weapon during the Civil War, favored for its range, accuracy, and reliability. Well-trained troops were able to fire at a rate of three aimed shots per minute while maintaining accuracy up to 500 yards (460 m), though firing distances in the war were often much shorter. The most notable difference between the Model 1861 and the earlier Springfield Model 1855 was the elimination of the Maynard tape primer for the Model 1861 the Maynard primer, a self-feeding primer system, was unreliable in damp conditions, and the priming mechanism was expensive and time-consuming to produce. Further, unlike the Model 1855, the Model 1861 was never produced in a two-banded rifle configuration. Overall Good / Very Good .
