1861 Springfield Rifle-Musket

摘要

Onee hostilities are over, most U.S. military rifles end up being mustered out of the service and sold to civilians as inexpensive war surplus arms. As time goes on and supplies dry up, many of these guns become collectibles worth many times their original costs. The most notable examples in modern times have been the 1903 Springfield and the Ml Garand. However, pre-dating these was the 1861 Springfield, officially known as the U.S. Springfield Model 1861.
