The original Springfield Trapdoor was a single-shot rifle used by the United States Army in the late 19th century. The Springfield Model 1873 holds a significant place in history as the first standard-issue breech-loading rifle adopted by the U.S. Army. It was widely used during various conflicts, including the Indian Wars. The rifle earned its "Trapdoor" moniker due to its hinged breechblock design, which allowed for easy loading and unloading of single cartridges. Chambered in .45-70 Government, a powerful cartridge suitable for both military and sporting use, the Springfield Model 1873 came in several variants, including rifles, carbines, and cadet rifles. The Cavalry Carbine model, in particular, was shorter and more compact, tailored for use by mounted troops. This rifle saw extensive service from its adoption in 1873 until the 1890s, when repeating rifles began to replace it. .45-70 Government SOLD Metal Condition: 80% Wood Condition: 85% Barrels: 20 Triggers: Smooth Butt Pad: Metal Weight: 7lb Sights: Iron Sights Item Location: Lexington, KY
