The Springfield Model 1812 Musket was a . 69 caliber, flintlock musket designed and manufactured by the Springfield Armory. In the years after the War of 1812, due to deficiencies perceived in the model 1795, the U. S. wanted them quickly replaced, and so also contracted out various orders to gun manufacturers of the time. Individual states also had their own contracts for their militias, and this is one such musket.
