The inventor was Ben Franklin Joslyn.  The rifle was produced through and by Springfield Armory.  The inventory began a dispute with the U.S. Government and it hurt the production of the rifle.
Several thousand were ordered, but by the end of the war only a fraction of the rifles were delivered.  The excess was eventually sold to Argentina.
