“MS” & “OHIO” Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1816 Percussion Conversion Musket
MASSACHUSETTS & OHIO Marked U.S. Military LONGARM
Description: “MS” & “OHIO” Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1816 Percussion Conversion Musket MASSACHUSETTS & OHIO Marked U.S. Military LONGARM Here we present an antique Massachusetts and Ohio Marked Springfield U.S. Model 1816 Conversion Musket, manufactured at the armory at Springfield, Massachusetts, circa 1817. This musket would have started out life as a smoothbore flintlock and likely converted around the start of the American Civil War. The War of 1812 revealed many weaknesses in American muskets. In an attempt to improve both the design and manufacture of the musket, the Model 1812 musket was created. The Model 1816 made further improvements and replaced the Model 1812. Harpers Ferry became America’s second national armory after the site was personally selected by George Washington, with the Springfield Armory being the first. The Model 1816 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 1850’s, many 1816’s, just as this one is, went through the conversion from flintlock to the more reliable percussion system. The overall condition is good. Light gray patina. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. This example sports a solid stock with average wear. A gouge/split is present on the left side of the buttstock. “OHIO” marked buttstock. Legible markings. “1817” dated. 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 $2000 #250623 Antique: Yes Price: $2,000.00 Buy Now Pay with
