Springfield Armory Black Powder for Sale

The United States Armory and Arsenal at Springfield in the United States was the nation’s primary government producer of black powder military arms, from its first standardized U.S. musket in 1795 through the flintlock, percussion, rifled-musket, and later black powder metallic-cartridge service eras. In black powder, Springfield defined U.S. issue patterns and manufacturing benchmarks by pioneering large-scale interchangeable-parts production and by bridging muzzleloading designs to black powder metallic cartridges with the Trapdoor Springfield series ahead of the smokeless transition.
