Description:
Springfield 1884 Trapdoor chambered in .45-70 Government. The Springfield model 1884 is the improved verson of the Model 1873. They are know as "Trapdoor Springfield" rifles. The improvements include a new rear sights and changes to the Lock Work. The Model 1884 was designed to handle the newer .45"-70-500 cartridge--the same used in the Gatling Gun--whose heavier bullet provided for more complete combustion of powder in the barrel. The Trapdoor remained the longarm of the U.S. Armed Forces until replaced by the bolt-action repeating rifle known as the Krag-Jorgensen in 1892. Bright bore with minimal rifling. .45-70 Government
