Originally made during 1861, in limited quantities, by the “Springfield” Armoury, this replica authentically reproduces one of America’s most historical firearms. More efficient than the earlier smooth bored muskets it was used by both sides in the American Civil War.
It is produced with satin finish barrel, stock with three bands, coin finish colour steel furniture. The lock is finished bright with U.S. Springfield stamping.
