1st Year CIVIL WAR Antique SPRINGFIELD ARMORY Model 1861 “EVERYMAN’S” Rifle
Very Early Production of the Primary Weapon of the Union!
Description: 1st Year CIVIL WAR Antique SPRINGFIELD ARMORY Model 1861 “EVERYMAN’S” Rifle Very Early Production of the Primary Weapon of the Union! Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1861 Civil War Rifle-Musket, made circa 1861 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Model 1861 was the primary musket at the start of the American Civil War. The musket was designed to fire the .58 caliber minie ball. The M1861 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 US 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 very good. Strong action. The bore has been bored smooth to .64 caliber. Solid walnut stock with an “AW” hand carved onto the left side of the butt stock. “1861” dated lock. A nice looking piece from the 1st year of production and the first year of the war. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 40 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 $1995 #210055 SOLD Antique: Yes |
