The Fayetteville Rifle was a 2 banded rifle produced at the Confederate States Arsenal in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The machinery which produced these weapons was primarily that captured at the United States Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, which was previously used to produce the US Model 1855 Rifle. The weapon was produced in .58 caliber from early in 1862 until the capture and destruction of the arsenal by Union forces under General W. T. Sherman on March 11, 1865. The rifle was made both with and without a special bayonet lug which allowed the use of a sword bayonet.

  • The Fayetteville Rifle was a 2 banded rifle produced at the Confederate States Arsenal in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The machinery which produced these weapons was primarily that captured at the United States Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, which was previously used to produce the US Model 1855 Rifle. The weapon was produced in .58 caliber from early in 1862 until the capture and destruction of the arsenal by Union forces under General W. T. Sherman on March 11, 1865. In February, 1862, the Fayetteville Observer, in describing the beginning of arms’ manufacturing at the arsenal, reported: A few days ago we were shown one of a number of rifles furnished at the C. S. Armory here. It is much the same in general appearance, as the U.S. rifle for some years made at Harper’s Ferry and at Springfield, Mass.; but for certain improvements, in the matter of sword bayonet, Maynard primer, and perfection of finish in all parts, it must be pronounced very superior. The back sights are set for 800 and 500 yards.Altogether, we think it the handsomest specimen of small arms, rifle or musket, we have ever seen-reflecting the greatest credit upon all concerned with its manufacture. The first examples were manufactured using assorted M1855 lock blanks and are mounted in iron with high and medium high lockplate humps. Later examples are mounted in brass with a graceful "S" shaped hammer. Only the very early examples are known to have a patch box. The rifle was made both with and without a special bayonet lug which allowed the use of a sword bayonet. The weapons are highly rare and collectible and pristine examples command prices in excess of $25,000. (en)

  • O Rifle Fayetteville ("Fayetteville Rifled Musket") era um mosquete estriado de duas cintas produzido no calibre .58" desde o início de 1862 no Fayetteville Arsenal, na cidade de Fayetteville, Carolina do Norte, até a captura e destruição desse arsenal pelas forças da União comandadas pelo General W. T. Sherman em 11 de março de 1865. O maquinário que produziu essas armas foi principalmente aquele capturado no Arsenal Harpers Ferry em Harpers Ferry, Virgínia Ocidental, que foi anteriormente usado para produzir o Springfield Model 1855 (de três cintas). Nota: o termo em inglês "Rifled-Musket" aqui, se refere ao fato do projeto desse mosquete já prever o estriamento ("rifling" em inglês) do cano, portanto ele já saía da fábrica com o cano estriado. Não tendo nada a ver a denominação, com o porte ou dimensões desse modelo, que por acaso era mais curto que o modelo que lhe serviu de base. (pt)
