ArmiSport U.S 1842 Pattern Musket

U.S. 1842 Musket

This was both the last U.S. made military musket in .69 calibre and the first American military long arm standardized enough for full parts interchangeability between muskets made at Springfield and Harpers Ferry armouries. With over 250,000 originally produced between 1844 and 1855, many militia units were equipped with ’42 pattern muskets at the start of the Civil War. Both the smoothbore 1842 pattern musket and its .69 calibre rifled barrel counterpart (the latter a conversion equipped with long-range sights) were used during the early years of the War Between the States until enough 1853 3-band and 1858 2-band Enfield rifled muskets, 1861 Springfield rifled muskets, and (for the South) 1862 Richmond rifled muskets became available to phase the ‘42s out by the end of 1863.

Armi Sport Chiappa 1842 Pattern Smoothbore and Rifled Muskets

Recreated in exacting detail by skilled craftsmen at Armi Sport’s European facilities, each ’42 pattern musket is fitted with a hand-rubbed oil finish American walnut stock with ‘U.S.’ marked buttplate and ‘correct’ riveted sling swivels. Even the period markings are faithfully reproduced: U.S. eagle in front of the hammer, ‘Springfield’ 2-line markings behind the hammer, lock and tang marked ‘1847,’ and V.P./eagle head proof marks on the breech. Both have 42” barrels: choose from smoothbore or rifled musket with 3 groove ‘1x1660mm twist’ barrel.
