Model 1835
notes: label: Description
content: The rifled musket, Model 1842, was a product of the American system of interchangeable parts manufacturing. It became the U.S. Army's first standard-issue firearm with interchangeable parts. Interchangeability required parts made to very precise measurements. Gauges such as those shown here, a lock receiving gauge (with lock) and a trigger guard and receiver gauge (with trigger guard), helped provide such precision. They were key elements of the American system of interchangeable parts manufacturing pioneered in army arsenals.
