| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Model 1840
Flintlock Musket was produced at Springfield Armory. The .69 caliber
Musket had a 42" barrel, an overall length of 58", and a weight of 9.8
lbs. More than 30,000 were produced by the Springfield Armory and two
independent contractors between 1840 and 1846. The Model 1840 was a
minor improvement over the Springfield Model 1835 musket, and therefore
was not dramatically different from the older Model 1835. The Model 1840
featured a longer bayonet with a clasp and a stock with a comb. The
designers of the Model 1840 anticipated that the musket would eventually
be rifled, and made the barrel heavier than the earlier Model 1835
accordingly. The various modifications to the Model 1840 made it
slightly heavier than the Model 1835. |
