HISTORY: The Springfield model 1866 is the second Allin-designed trapdoor breech-loading mechanism conversion for Springfield muskets. The model 1866 fixed many problems with Allin's first model (1865), they added a simplified and improved extractor, relined the .58 Cal barrels to .50 Cal & used the new .50-70 cartridge. The first model used unmodified, old .58 caliber barrels from the muzzleloaders & a .58 RF cartridge. The 1866 model also still used old percussion locks from the 1863 muzzleloader, this would be changed in Allens 3rd model in 1868. Approximately 25,000 .58 caliber Springfield Model 1863 rifled muskets were converted by Springfield Armory into the 1866 model. The Model 1866 was issued to U.S. troops in 1867, and was a major factor in the Wagon Box Fight and the Hayfield Fight, along the Bozeman Trail in 1867. Antique No FFL Req. - Value: 1200 to 2400
