Description:
U.S. Springfield Model 1884 Trapdoor Rifle, made by the Springfield Armory. 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 very good. Original patina in excellent shape. Strong action. Bright bore. Solid stock with an average amount of wear, minor scuff, and dings. Sharp markings throughout. This example is “US” marked on the butt and lock with arsenal marks on the bands. No visible cartouches.
Barrel is 32-5/8 inches.
