Description

Here's a great, all original M1855 Remington Conversion modestly price for the reenactor or shooter. 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 in "well used" condition with numerous scuffs and gouges from years of faithful service. The stock is full length and features no real damage other than a few old drying cracks, as well as a repair to the lock mortise (see photos).

The lock is fully functional with a reliable half and full cock. The tape primer parts are intact and in good shape. The markings on the lock are legible with no major rust or pitting to speak of.

The barrel is full length. The bore is very dark with heavy rust and pitting, smoothbored. The barrel sports a reproduction m1858 rear sight.

The furniture is in good condition and matches the rest of the musket. The ram rod is original and full length.
