The Model 1855 was the first rifle musket to be produced in the United States. It was manufactured at both the Springfield and Harpers Ferry Armories. It was also the first rifle to use the .58 caliber minie ball which revolutionized warfare by allowing ease of loading yet attaining deadly accuracy. The lock of the model 1855 contained the Maynard tape primer system. This system eliminated the need of a percussion cap (although normal percussion caps were fully compatible with the Maynard system) by using a roll of caps to ignite the gunpowder.

The U.S. Model 1842 was the last smoothbore musket, while simultaneously being the first fully parts interchangeable (machine-made) and the first with a regulation percussion lock. It was not made in great numbers. Total production of both the Springfield and Harpers Ferry Armories was only 272,565 over the course of 12 years. A few of these smoothbore muskets were converted to " Rifled Muskets" and a fewer amount was converted to the two band " Short Rifled Musket" . Often mistaken for an " Artillery" model, the short 33 inch barrel was a favorite for close quarters and mounted units.
