1861 Springfield.58 Musket Armi Sport

Manufactured by Armi Sport in Italy, this is a top quality and faithful replica of the first mass produced issue rifle for US Troops during the War Between the States. Weight is approximately9 pounds, .58 Caliber, It is entirely polished steel, with a 40 inch barrel, three-band configuration that is acceptable for all historical reenactments that we know of. Importer is Taylor Company in Virginia, but this rifle came from Cabela’s. As the photos show, it comes equipped with a period-appropriate genuine leather sling. It is in its original box with all its papers, and it has not been loaded, much less fired. Date Code is BT, so this one was manufactured in 2003.
