INDIAN WARS .45-70 GOVT Antique US SPRINGFIELD M1884 TRAPDOOR Rifle Circa 1886
Chambered in the Original .45-70 GOVT
Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1884 Trapdoor Cadet Rifle, made by the Springfield Armory. Manufactured in 1886 during the height of the Indian War and not long after the Custer massacre, this is a cadet rifle version of the U.S. Springfield Model 1884. After the Civil War, the War Department wanted a breech-loading rifle. To be specific, it wanted a breech-loading rifle that would chamber a self-primed, metallic cartridge. Amazingly, despite the adoption of the ill-fated Model 1882 Chaffee-Reese Bolt Action Magazine Rifle, new models of trapdoor rifles continued to be produced and used all the way through the mid-1890s, until finally, the Krag-Jorgensen was adopted. The U.S. continued to see unrest and conflict with the displaced Native Americans during this time, including the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29th, 1890. Trapdoors continued to see use all the way through the Spanish American War
