The 1862 Springfield musket, also known as the Model 1861 Springfield, is a .58 caliber rifle musket that became one of the most widely used firearms during the American Civil War. Although it was primarily produced at the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts, some were also made at the Trenton, New Jersey armory. This model is notable for its accuracy, range, and reliability, making it a favored choice among Union soldiers. Its design influenced many subsequent military firearms.
