1842 Springfield Musket Smoothbore Kit

The Traditions™ 1842 Springfield Musket Kit is a true-to-history reproduction of the iconic musket used during the American Civil War. As the last smoothbore musket issued by the U.S. military and the first to feature a percussion lock, the 1842 Springfield holds a significant place in American firearms history.

This .69 caliber percussion model features a 42" smoothbore barrel, single trigger, and comes unfinished "in the white" for both the barrel and hardware, allowing you to finish it to your personal or historically accurate preference. 

The high-quality stock is hand-oiled for a premium look and feel, ready for final sanding and finishing. 

Whether you're a reenactor, collector, or part of a historical or educational group, this kit offers an engaging and rewarding project. It’s also a great parent-child activity or group project. 

Approved by the North-South Skirmish Association (N-SSA), this musket kit is both authentic and functional—a great way toconnect with the past through hands-on craftsmanship.

You can finish your 1842 Springfield smoothbore musket with Traditions Liquid Blue for Steel and the Tru-Oil Stock Finishing Kit each sold separately.
