Episode Nine: Springfield Model 1863

This episode briefly examines the Springfield Model 1863, and I do mean briefly because it's basically an extension to the episodes on the Springfield Model 1861 and Special Model 1861.
Photos of the early ramrod with brass cap are from George D. Moller's excellent book American Military Shoulder Arms volume III: Flintlock Alterations and Muzzleloading Percussion Shoulder Arms, 1840-1865 (p. 326) and are used for illustrative purposes.
