Description:
The Springfield model 1884 was one of the "Trapdoor Springfield" rifles. It was an improved replacement for the previous long arm of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Springfield model 1873. The model 1884 traces its roots back to the design of the Springfield 1873. The model 1884 incorporated a significant number of improvements that had been made between 1878 and 1879. It also featured a serrated trigger that had been incorporated into the Springfield rifle design in 1883. The most dramatic change to the rifle design was a new rear sight which had been designed by Lieutenant Colonel Adelbert R. Buffington of the U.S. Army Ordnance Department. The principal feature of this new sight was a rack and pinion style windage adjustment. Unlike previous sights, the base was not used for any position other than point-blank. The raised leaf had graduations from 200 to 1400 yards. A new barrel band was also designed to accommodate this new sight so that it could lie flat in the point-blank position. Marksmen generally favored the new sight, but general troops were less enthusiastic about it and often considered it to be an annoyance. None
