The Maynard Carbine: An Early American Breech-Loading Firearm
The Maynard Carbine is a firearm that played an integral role in the history of American firearms. Developed in the mid-19th century, the carbine represented significant advancements in firearms technology, and was used extensively during the American Civil War.
Development and Production of the Maynard Carbine
The Maynard Carbine was developed by Dr. Edward Maynard, a prominent American dentist who had an interest in firearms technology. Maynard patented his first model of the carbine in 1851, and subsequently improved and developed the design over the following years. The carbine was manufactured by the Massachusetts Arms Company based in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. The production period for the carbine was primarily between 1857 and 1865.
The Maynard was notable for its unique priming system, Maynard Tape Primer. Maynard's invention was a simple, efficient, and reliable method to ignite the powder charge in a firearm. It used a roll of caps, similar to the ones found in a cap gun, housed in a compartment above the breech of the firearm. The priming system was mechanically advanced each time the hammer was cocked, ensuring that the gun could be fired rapidly and reliably.
There were two main models produced: the First Model Maynard, made from 1857 to 1859, and the Second Model Maynard, produced from 1863 to end of civil war.
