1863 Dated Antique CIVIL WAR Springfield U.S. M1863 Percussion RIFLE-MUSKET
UNION “EVERYMAN’S RIFLE” Primary Infantry Weapon
Here we present an antique Springfield U.S. Model 1863 Rifle-Musket, manufactured at the Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts circa 1863. The Model 1863 was only a minor improvement over the Springfield Model 1861. As such, it is sometimes classified as just a variant of the Model 1861. The Model 1863 was produced in two variants. The Type I eliminated the band springs and replaced the flat barrel bands with oval clamping bands.
It also featured a new ramrod, a case-hardened lock, a new hammer, and a redesigned bolster. The Type II is sometimes referred to as the Model 1864 but is more commonly referred to as just a variant of the Model 1863. This version re-introduced band springs, replaced the clamping bands with solid oval bands, and replaced the three leaf rear sight with single leaf sight. A total of 255,040 of these were manufactured from 1864 to 1865.
The overall condition is very good. Original dark brown patina. The stock is refinished with a repaired crack behind the lock and a portion missing behind the percussion nipple. Slightly oversized buttplate. Replacement front barrel band. Barrel date is worn. Strong action. The bore has been bored smooth, and is good for its age. Lock markings are legible.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 40 inches.
Caliber: .64 Percussion
