CIVIL WAR Antique US SPRINGFIELD Model 1855 MAYNARD Primed Rifle-MUSKET .58 Maynard Tape Primed Musket Made Circa 1859
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique US SPRINGFIELD Model 1855 MAYNARD Primed Rifle-MUSKET .58 Maynard Tape Primed Musket Made Circa 1859 Here we present an antique Springfield Armory US Model 1855 Maynard Tape Primed Rifle-Musket, manufactured in 1859 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Model 1855 was the first US musket to utilize the .58 caliber Minie ball. The US military was piloting a concept for all U.S. Army troops to have a common caliber, so that logistics would be simplified. The chosen caliber was .58, and it utilized the cutting-edge cone-shaped Minié ball with the hollow base instead of a spherical ball. Also, relatively new and short-lived was the Maynard tape priming system, to which Springfield had purchased the rights. Instead of directly priming the nipple by hand for each shot, the user would simply install a roll of paper percussion caps, and a single cap would be exposed, sheared and carried by the hammer to detonate on the nipple. Of course, the standard rifle percussion caps could also be used. This system was simply abandoned with the beginning of the American Civil War as arms production was driven by effectiveness and efficiency, resulting in the simplified Model 1861. This rifle features iron furniture. The lock is marked “U.S./SPRINGFIELD/1859” with a federal eagle on the Maynard system’s door. The butt plate is marked “US”. The left side of the barrel is marked “V”, “P” with an eagle head and dated “1858”. The overall condition is Very Good. The action is strong, and the bore is bright. The federal eagle on the lock is in great shape! The butt stock has been spliced at some point. It is a quality job and not particularly noticeable. A handsome and scarce US rifle-musket indeed! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 40 inches. Caliber: .58 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 $3000 #190961 SOLD Antique: Yes |
