Mod. S.298
Ispirata al moschetto Charleville Mod.
1763, fu la prima arma militare prodotta
nell’arsenale di Springfield, nel
Massachusetts.IlsegretariodelMinistero
della Guerra Timothy Pickering suggerì
l’arma francese come punto di partenza
in modo da potere utilizzare alcuni
componenti giacenti nei magazzini di
Springfield, operativi fino al 1794 sia
come depositi sia come officine per le
riparazioni. Il Modello 1795 fu prodotto
fino al 1814 in circa 85.000 esemplari.
La nostra arma ripropone fedelmente
un esemplare fabbricato tra il 1799 e il
1802; tutti i fornimenti sono in acciaio e
il calcio è in noce.

The U.S 1816 musket was originally
produced in the arsenals at Harper’s

in the flintlock version and later

during the Civil War. The barrel is

the stock by two bands. The walnut
stock is oil finished and shows the
