Springfield Model of 1822/28

[Doug Dukes]

I believe I have found a Model 1822/28. Issue is, it is missing a few parts such as barrel and barrel bands, but remainder is in great condition. I would like to have any help on this model as well as if original parts would be available and from where. Thanks

I would say call Lodge wood. He has parts listed for M1816's, so I'd start there. Finding all Springfield Arsenal parts is gonna be fun. It's looks to be in very nice condition.

Lodgewood Manufacturing and S&S firearms for parts. Dan Whitacre can make you a barrel. Whitacre's Machine Shop. You're looking at around $550.00 for a barrel. You might find an original on eBay.

You have the parts of the 3rd style of M1816. The M1822 moniker was applied through error of the era when in 1822 when a number of “standard muskets” of the current pattern, intended to be loaned to contractors were made up by the arsenals and were dated 1822. The name stuck, but the musket was already approved in1816.

Oh, OP I forgot an important detail. The M1816 parts were not actually interchangeable. So you need to find parts from the same arsenal and same era to maybe have parts that will fit.

Kinsely has the last remaining stock of original parts from Bannerman's and is very knowledgeable. I would recommend contacting him. You'll have to call as he doesn't have a web site. From your photos it's well worth restoring and using original parts.
