If your referring to the "muzzle loading" musket/rifle; the US Army's last offical use of that weapon was the US Civil War. In 1866 the US Army adapted the metallic cartridge 50-70 single shot rifle. Then in 1873, the US Army got rid of the 50-70 and adapted the 45-70 Government cartridge. Both sides used the musket/rifle in the Civil War. A muzzle loading musket could be either smooth bore or rifled. However, generally speaking, whenever a man used the term "musket", it was usually presumed to be a smooth bored weapon.
What was the main weapon in the Civil War?
The two main weapons used during the Civil War would be the 1855 Enfield and the 1861 Springfield. The Enfield was imported from England and mainly saw use in the CS, on the other hand, the 1861 Springfield was made in the US and saw extensive use in the US armies.

What was better to use in the civil war a musket or saber?
The Saber was defiantly a faster more agile weapon but it was not long ranged like the Musket, there is also the accuracy factor when you shoot a musket straight it is most likely to hit the floor or next to where you shot. If you miss with the Musket and the other person had a Saber you would die or be harshly injured. My choice would be the Saber for speed, accuracy, and agility.
