Description:
The Model 1873 Trapdoor Springfield SN 55184 is a significant rifle in American military history, designed for use with the .45-70 Government cartridge. Developed by Springfield Armory, the rifle was based on an earlier design by Christopher Spencer and was introduced in 1873, marking a transition from muzzle-loading to breech-loading rifles in the U.S. military.

The "trapdoor" mechanism allowed for quick reloading by lifting a hinged breech block, making it easier to fire multiple shots compared to older models. The rifle was notable for its accuracy and reliability, quickly becoming the standard infantry rifle for the U.S. Army.
