Dirk Posted February 8 Share #2 Posted February 8 My guess is 1880’s to 1900 or so….some state units and some seagoing Marines were still using percussion rifles into the Spam Am War and slightly beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atb Posted February 8 Share #3 Posted February 8 Could be a photographer's studio prop and be older than the ones in use. I think Dirk means muzzleloading rather than percussion. The breechloading trapdoor Springfield rifle was still issue in state units during the Span-Am War. I think muzzleloading rifles were not then the issue firearm.
