Description:
INDIAN WARS Antique SPRINGFIELD Model 1879 Breech Loading TRAPDOOR Rifle
In the Original 45-70 GOVT with BAYONET
Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1879 Trapdoor Rifle, made in 1880 at the Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts. 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.
The overall condition is good. The action is strong. Semi-bright bore. This example sports a solid stock with expected wear. “1873” dated breech. The included bayonet is “US” stamped.
