The Springfield Model 1816 was a .69 caliber flintlock musket manufactured in the United States during the early 19th century.

The Springfield Model 1812 was created in an attempt to improve both the design and manufacture of the musket.

[3] The Model 1816 musket was originally manufactured at the Springfield and Harpers Ferry armories along with independent contractors between 1816 and 1844.

This model of Springfield musket was used by Texans during the Texas Revolution and by the U.S. Army and militia during the Mexican–American War.

During this conflict, the flintlock version of the Model 1816 was preferred by U.S. regular forces, due to percussion cap supply concerns.
