The Springfield Rifle Musket

Andrew has a discussion on the evolution of the Springfield musket with historian Phil Spaugy. They take a look at how the Springfield evolved from the model 1855 to the 1863 model. The fun does not stop with the history because they take an original and a reproduction Springfield out on the range!
