Traditions 1861 Springfield 58 Cal Percussion 40" Stainless Rifled Barrel Unfinished Walnut Stock Sidelock - Musket Kit

The Traditions 1861 Springfield Musket Kit brings one of America's most iconic Civil War-era long arms to your shop as a build-it-yourself muzzleloading rifle replica. Chambered in .58 caliber percussion, the kit faithfully recreates the original 1861 Springfield pattern with a classic side-mounted percussion lock and a full-length 40" rifled stainless steel barrel.

At the heart of the kit is the traditional sidelock action - the same side-mounted percussion lock mechanism used on original 1861 Springfield muskets - paired with a single trigger and fixed sights. The 40" stainless steel barrel ships in its natural, unfinished-in-the-white state, ready for the shooter to polish, blue, or leave as raw stainless. The one-piece unfinished walnut stock arrives ready for shaping, sanding, staining, and finishing to the shooter's taste.

Weighing 8.40 lbs and measuring 56" overall, this kit assembles into a full-size single-shot muzzleloading musket suited for historical reenactment, living history demonstrations, and black powder shooting. Like the original, the musket is loaded through the muzzle with powder, patch, and round ball - a hands-on experience that connects today's shooters with Civil War-era American marksmanship.

This is a build-it-yourself kit that ships with all major components but unfinished - both the metal and the wood require final preparation by the buyer. Once completed, the 1861 Springfield is a fully functional muzzleloading rifle.
