1858 DATED SPRINGFIELD US MODEL 1855 RIFLE MUSKET
|
|
|
Description :
|
.58 Caliber percussion US Military Long Arm. 3-Band Rifle Musket date "1858" on the lock and top barrel flat. These were used throughout the Civil War by both sides. This one has the M1855 series Maynard Priming System which still works. They used the paper roll caps which were done away with with the M1861 Springfields. Metal on barrel, lock and furniture has been cleaned to bright and kept that way. Brass stock cap. Original swollen M1855 ram rod. Both sling swivels. Good solid stock with barest trace of cartouche on left flat. Excellent bore. Good mechanics. The long range rear sight is a museum quality reproduction in my opinion. Looks good on piece.
