We have antique Springfield Civil War Rifle with bayonet (sp?) I am not sure of its year - 1855/1861 I think...I may be wrong with dates.,,,it does not work but it has ummm date marked by US (for Union)...I don't know what they are called.. my Hubby is a Civil War Buff.....
here is the info
Springfield Rifle Musket
The most frequently used rifle of the Civil War was the American-made Springfield rifle musket (above)--a single-shot, muzzle-loading gun detonated with a percussion cap. Not only did it have the rifled barrel, which dramatically increased accuracy over a smoothbore musket, but it also was the first rifle to fire the famous .58 cal. Minié ball--an inch-long, bullet-shaped projectile, rather than a round ball as used in older muskets. The 39-inch-long rifled barrel made it possible to hit a target with a Minié ball as far away as 500 yards. By the end of the war, approximately 1.5 million Springfield rifle muskets had been produced by the Springfield Armory and 20 subcontractors. Since the South lacked sufficient manufacturing capability, most of the Springfields in Southern hands were captured on the battlefields during the early part of the war.
Oooooo, that is neat! Do you have it on display, like over the fireplace mantel? I think that would look cool.downing said:Well speaking of guns.....

Wow, yeah I would not try to fire that without a gunsmith fixing it first. Usually it is better not to try to fire such an old gun because it can be damaged.downing said:no it does not work because the ball was jammed inside the barrel which makes it more interesting!

Do you mean travelling to another state to buy it, or do you mean ordering by mail or internet?Y said:I would like to purchase the legal one, but I noticed
that some of them were cheaper out of state
so does this mean I have to purchase from the
same state where I live or doesn't this matter at all ?
