This U.S. Springfield Model 1816 is an antique military musket dated 1835 on the lock, a .69 caliber smoothbore with a 42-inch round barrel and no serial number. The lock plate carries the eagle over U.S. stamp at the front and SPRING/FIELD/1835 at the rear. The barrel and the rest of the iron have settled into an even grey patina, the stock rates very good with only light wear, and the action still holds at both half and full cock.

The title lists the gun as converted, and the condition notes describe a working lock rather than a restored one. This is a piece for collectors of early American military arms. Utah does hold a general-season muzzleloader buck deer hunt from September 23 to October 1, but a smoothbore of this age is better treated as a display and study item; if you ever mean to fire it, have it inspected first and read the Big Game Field Regulations Guidebook on legal muzzleloader ammunition.
