A reloadable brass cartridge with a wide head is inserted, ignition is by the standard percussion cap and nipple. The system was one of the few to survive and do well on the commercial market after the Civil War. Manufacture was by the Massachusetts Arms Co., although not supplying Maynard carbines to the Government until 1864 they did supply some to Northern states. In the run up to conflict quantities went South, at least 2,500 went to the states of Georgia, Florida and Mississippi. In June 1863 General Ripley signed a contract for the supply of 20,000  Maynard carbines, deliveries were a year late and the first 1000 not received until June 1864 and the final shipment in May 1865.
