Traditions 1861 Springfield Features The Traditions 1861 Springfield reproduces the most widely issued rifle of the Civil War built around a percussion ignition system and a rifled .58 caliber bore that made the original famous for its reliability and range. The 40 barrel delivers an effective range of 200 to 300 yards with round ball or maxi projectiles giving shooters authentic period performance. A locking hooked breech allows the action to be opened for easy cleaning keeping maintenance straightforward after extended range sessions. Fixed front and adjustable military-style rear sights let shooters dial in windage and elevation for consistent accuracy. A hand-oiled walnut stock is fitted to a stainless barrel and receiver creating a durable corrosion-resistant combination that also looks the part of a genuine 19th-century musket. Classic metal embellishments and an inlaid solid metal butt plate add authentic detail throughout the rifle s ornate trigger guard and furniture. The smooth single-action trigger breaks cleanly making the rifle approachable for both first-time black powder shooters and experienced N-SSA competitors. Whether used for hunting re-enactment or historical shooting sports the Traditions 1861 Springfield delivers a faithful well-finished reproduction built to last.
