CIVIL WAR Antique U.S. MASS. ARMS Co. Percussion MAYNARD SR Carbine CAVALRY
Used by 9th & 11th INDIANA and 11th TENNESSEE
Here we present an antique U.S. Maynard Second Model Cavalry Percussion Saddle Ring Carbine, made by the Massachusetts Arms Company in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, circa 1863. The 2nd Model Maynard carbine is widely regarded as one of the best performing and most accurate of all the cavalry arms used during the Civil War. The well favored carbine was the invention of New Jersey doctor Edward Maynard, who patented his 1st model carbine in 1851. Between 1863 and 1865, the U.S. Ordnance Department contracted for over 20,000 2nd model carbines. Issued mostly to the Federal cavalry, the Maynard proved a lightweight, dependable carbine that saw extensive service in the field.
This second model was used by various Union cavalry units. Known significant issue and use occurred in the 9th & 11th Indiana, as well as the 11th Tennessee. It was generally well-liked, owing to its light weight, handling and simplicity. The lever simply tips the barrel down so that the breech is exposed for loading and unloading. Compared to a percussion muzzle-loader, it was much faster to put fire down range.
The overall condition is very good. Original, but mottled patinas, gray/dark. Bright bore and a lightly frosted appearance at the breech, with sharp rifling. Robust action. Replacement nipple. Visible markings are legible. The stock is re-oiled and remains solid. Cartouche remnants are found on the left wrist.
