Civil War Muskets-Smooth Bore-Rifled.

Top-to-bottom:

  • Model 1816 Springfield Musket. Produced by the Springfield Armory in 1832 the Model 1816 was a flintlock .69 cal. smoothbore musket. In the 1850s the government altered thousands of flintlocks for use as percussion muskets by modifying the lock and boring a hole in the barrel for a percussion cone.
  • French Model 1842 Rifle Musket. More than 2,500 of these .69 cal. weapons were purchased in France by Herman Boker & Co. of New York and sold to the government. The Ordnance Dept. rated them as 3rd class—serviceable but substandard. The bayonet is quadrangular rather than triangular.
  • Belgian .69 Caliber Rifle Musket. Modified after period French rifles, this Belgian model, produced in Liege, was one of more tan 30,000 Belgian rifles purchased for the United States by Marcellus Hartley.
  • Model 1863 Springfield Rifled Musket Savage Contract. Unable to keep up with demand for rifled muskets, the Springfield Armory let out subcontracts to 20 firms for copies of their weapons. R.F.A. Savage Revolving Firms Co. located in Middletown, Conn. produced this model 1861 Springfield as part of a 1863 contract.
  • Produced by Springfield Armory in 1832. This Model was originally a flintlock .69 cal. smoothbore musket. It was then altered in the 1850s by the government to a percussion musket by modifying the lock and boring a hole in barrel for percussion cone.
  • Hall Breechloading Flintlock Rifle, Model 1819. John Hall of Portland, ME, produced a breechloading rifle in 1811 and continued to provide them to both federal and state governments in the 1850s. This .52 cal. model was made in 1838 and features pins to hold the barrel bands. Pushing up the lever in front of the trigger raised the breech block, enabling to load gun with ease.
  • Hall Breechloading Rifle, Model 1819. This .52 cal. model was produced in 1839 as a flintlock. When the Civil War began, this weapon was altered to percussion use by replacing the flintlock with a hammer and reworking the receiver. Because the Hall rifle leaked the gas at the breech, when fired, these altered rifles were given 4th class status—absolute emergency use only.
  • Sharps New Model 1863 Breechloading Rifle. Sharps rifles were used by Berdan's sharpshooters and many other regiments.
