Description
Both the Harpers Ferry and Springfield Armories produced the Model 1842 U.S. Percussion Musket in great numbers from 1844 to 1855. This reproduction is true to the original measurements with a 42 barrel and a total length of 58 inches. The Model 1842 was notable in several aspects, mainly that it was the .69 caliber musket. Additionally, it was the first weapon made at both the Harpers Ferry and Springfield Armory with completely interchangeable parts. Harpers Ferry produced 103,000 while Springfield produced 172,000 for a total production surpassing a quarter of a million arms.
Lockplate is stamped with the Federal Eagle in front of the hammer and vertically marked “SPRING-FIELD” in two lines behind the hammer. Dated 1847 as the production year. The barrel is stamped with the correct style V.P. and Eagle Head proof marks on the breech. Has long range sights and rifled barel. NSSA Approved
