Description
1855 Springfield Rifle
In 1855 the Springfield (MA) Armory began planning the production of a .58 caliber musket with a rifled barrel. This weapon, along with the Model 1861 Springfield Rifle and the Model 1863 Springfield Rifle would become the most common shoulder weapon used in The Civil War. Known as a "rifle musket" the 1855 Springfield Rifle replaced an earlier .69 caliber musket and a .54 caliber rifle. It featured improvements that increased both range and accuracy.
