Pedersoli 1861 Springfield Musket

Own a Civil War Classic!

With almost a million 1861 pattern rifled muskets manufactured by a total of twenty contactors, the 'model 1861' was the standard issue service arm of the U.S. Civil War. It is essentially a simplified Model 1855 rifled musket with the patch box and Maynard priming system omitted (the latter proved troublesome in battlefield conditions and made the rifle more costly to manufacture).

Though these were primarily used by the union army many were captured and pressed into service by the confederate army, which suffered from a chronic shortage of arms due to lack of a domestic arms industry. Others were captured at Harper's Ferry therefore it is feasible for the 1861 Springfield rifle to have been in the hands of a rebel soldier very early in the war.

Davide Pedersoli's 1861 Springfield musket is the finest Civil War reproduction long arm in production today. The fine fit and finish of these rifles (prevalent throughout Pedersoli's offerings) is immediately apparent and leaves nothing to be desired insofar as quality is concerned. Many enthusiasts and re-enactors tell of trying the rest before buying a Pedersoli: why not save yourself the trouble by starting with the best?
