Description:
#1411 Springfield 1884 “Trapdoor Rifle”, 45/70 with Fine bright bore (8+ on a scale of 10) and tight gas seal at the breech block, 328XXX (1887 manufacture). VG++ wood with minor staining and a partial dim cartouche. Cleaning rod is bright metal and looks to be eithercleaned of is a correct style reproduction. It has all the correct features for the 1884 model including the Buffington rear sight. These rugged and very reliable Trapdoor Springfields were the mainstay military long arm from the end of the Civil War up to the mid-1890s when they were finally phased out by the 1892 Springfield-Krag bolt action repeater. Even then, they were used as secondary defense weapons in the Spanish-American War and even used as training weapons as late as World War 1. To this day, they are still great shooting and very accurate rifles with a very hard-hitting black-powder round. They very rarely have mechanical problems, and on the rare chance that they do break some small part in the action, most parts are very easily obtained from several parts dealers. Consequently, they make a fine rifle for the beginning shooter of Big-Bore black powder competitions. $845
