SPRINGFIELD Model 1816 “Cone” Conversion Musket
Description: SPRINGFIELD Model 1816 “Cone” Conversion Musket Antebellum Musket Dated 1826 & Updated for the Civil War Here we present an antique Springfield US Model 1816 Conversion Musket, manufactured at the armory at Springfield, Massachusetts, circa 1826. This Model 1816 flintlock musket has been converted to percussion using the Belgian Style Alteration method, more commonly known as the “Cone Type” conversion. All external lock parts were removed with the screw hole plugged, the pan ground flush with lock plate (leaving the remnants intact) and the small existing cavity in the pan filled with brass to give it a level or squared off profile along the top. The vent hole of the barrel was plugged with a nipple screwed into the threaded receptacle at the top of the barrel, set off center towards the lock side. Then, adding the distinctive arsenal, military hammer. The M1816 was in production at Springfield (325,000) and Harpers Ferry (350,000) between 1816 to 1844 with around 675,000 muskets produced during this run. It saw service during the Mexican-American War and was even pressed into service during the Civil War in both the updated percussion and the old flintlock format. In the 1850s, many 1816s went through the conversion from flintlock to percussion. The overall condition is good. The iron parts have a dark patina. The markings are clear. The stock shows honest wear and handling and remains solid. There are also two cartouches visible on the left stock flat. The bore is smooth and dark. The action is excellent. Here is a fantastic US musket with lots of history behind it! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 42 inches. Caliber: .69 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 $1200 #8580 SOLD Antique: Yes |
