The Springfield…

It appears to be a pretty slick copy of a very rare (1020) made carbine. According to Flaydrrman’s, it’s the only 1855 that was made without the Maynard priming system. Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to make a close replica, but I’m pretty sure it is a replica. The stock has what appears to be a filled on patch box. Like you said, the fixed rear sight is off and the mountings should be steel vs brass. Lastly, the ram rod retainer is very similar to the 1855 stocked pistol and from a few pics, it should be more of a ring style deal.
