The 1865 Allin "Trapdoor" Conversion single-shot represented a new standard for U.S. military armament: breech-loading metallic cartridge rifles. Such arms fired ready-made metal cartridges that were fitted into a chamber at the breech, which was then closed by the hinged "trapdoor" bolt.

The lock is marked in front of hammer with spread winged eagle and “U.S. / SPRINGFIELD”. The breech block is marked with 1865 and an eagle. The tang is marked with an eagle.
