In today's video we are going back to the American Civil War! We are discussing the history of a rifled musket that was coveted by both sides of the war... the 1861 Springfield Musket! This was no ordinary musket, it was ignited by the reliable percussion cap and it fired a 500 grain, 58 caliber minie ball down a rifled bore with deadly accuracy.
Sit back and enjoy this video where we discuss this rifle from its development at the Springfield Armory all the way to the range, where we shoot it out to 350 yards!
