1864 Dated CIVIL WAR Antique U.S. JAMES D. MOWRY M1861 .58 Rifle-MUSKET
NORWICH, CONN. Union Infantry “EVERYMAN’S” Rifle
Description: 1864 Dated CIVIL WAR Antique U.S. JAMES D. MOWRY M1861 .58 Rifle-MUSKET NORWICH, CONN. Union Infantry “EVERYMAN’S” Rifle Here we present an antique U.S. James D. Mowry Model 1861 Civil War Rifle-Musket, made circa 1864 in Norwich, Connecticut. Between the years of 1863 and 1864, Mowry manufactured 22,000 of these rifles. The Model 1861 was the primary musket at the start of the American Civil War for the Union Army. The musket was designed to fire the .58 caliber minie ball. The Model 1861 is representative of the “everyman’s” rifle during the war. About 1.5 million rifle-muskets were made in the U.S., over 800,000 of which were made by the Springfield Armory. This was the last hurrah of the rifle-musket as arms development and tactics rapidly advanced during the short period of the American Civil War. Nevertheless, the 1861 represented new technology as it was made for use with the Minié ball, a hollow based, conical projectile that was small enough to quickly push down the muzzle of a rifled barrel and expanded to create a good gas seal unlike a solid, round ball. Almost immediately after the war, the U.S. military switched from the old muzzle loading type weapons to the newer breech loading rifles, bringing an end to the musket as a standard frontline firearm in American history. The overall condition is good. Mixed bright and dark patinas. The stock is very good with a chip missing to the left of the buttplate tang. The markings are crisp. Replaced lock. The lock has a missing or broken main spring and does not function. The rifled bore is dark but good. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 39 inches. Caliber: .58 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2400 #256050 Antique: Yes Price: $2,400.00 Buy Now Pay with
