Description

Here's a great example of a M1855 Remington conversion of the M1816. These muskets were originally built as flintlocks until Remington was given a contract by the US government to convert 20,000 M1816 flintlock muskets to percussion using newly made Maynard tape primer percussion locks and bolstered patent breeches. Remington began the work in 1856 and completed the contract in 1858.

This particular Remington conversion is a nice representative of the Remington M1855. It is all original and in excellent condition.

The stock is in great shape with no cracks, splits or rotten spots; and only a few minor handling marks. All of the original inspector's cartouches, including Remington's inspection marks, are present and legible.

The lock is fully functional with a complete and intact Maynard Tape Priming system.

The barrel is full length and in good condition. The rifled .69 caliber bore is very good without any major rust or pitting. The barrel features a great condition original long range rear sight and correct "shark fin" steel front sight on the front band.

The furniture is in good condition and matches the rest of the musket.
