CIVIL WAR Era Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1816 Modified to RIFLED CARBINE
Flintlock to Percussion BOLSTER CONVERSION Musket
Here we present an antique Springfield U.S. Model 1816 Percussion Conversion Musket that has been modified to a Rifled Carbine, manufactured in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1820. This example would have started out life as a flintlock and later converted to percussion sometime between 1852 and the start of the Civil War.
The advent of the Model 1842 Musket made the M1816 obsolete, but not unserviceable. Eventually, most made their way to storehouses and armories. Beginning in 1848, when more than 700,000 of all types of flintlock muskets were reported in storage, the most serviceable were converted to percussion ignition. Three types of alteration were performed. All alterations involved grinding the flash pan down and replacing the hammer.
The overall condition is good in its current configuration. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Original brown barrel patina. The stock has been re-oiled and remains in good shape with average handling. “1820” dated lock. This example has been shortened, and a front sight was never added. Absent cleaning rod. A very interesting musket updated just in time for the American Civil War!
