American Civil War reenactors or history enthusiasts can now own accurate, faithful reproductions of some of the most famous arms used in conflict between the Union and Confederacy.  All of the Chiappa Firearms' muzzleloaders pay attention to historical details such as barrel bands, ramrods and sights, with hand oiled walnut stocks. The 1842 Musket, originally manufactured in Springfield and Harpers Ferry, and the 1861 Springfield  have barrel and locks in a white finish.  The 1853 Enfield Musket and 1863 Zouave have a blued barrel and color case locks. 

By the end of 1863, the 1861 Springfield Rifled Musket was the principal firearm of Federal infantry, although the Enfield was also in widespread use. The percussion lock is marked with 1861 Springfield and an eagle. Military style sights allow shooting at long ranges. Like the original, this modern day reproduction has an armory bright satin white finish and includes a swelled ramrod. The 1861 Springfield is capable of long range accuracy to 300 yards and beyond, and is NSSA approved.
