Description:
"Serial No. 514133, manufactured in 1891, chambered in .45-70 Government, with a 32 ½" round barrel. This rifle features the final iteration of the Springfield “trapdoor" series, incorporating the distinctive integral ramrod bayonet—a dual-purpose design aimed at simplifying field gear for infantry troops. The barrel has developed a smooth brown patina from age, while the breech and lock plate retain traces of original blue with vibrant case coloring visible within the breech. The rifle is equipped with a detachable pistol grip and original front sight protector. The walnut stock remains in very good condition, bearing a crisp 1891 inspection cartouche on the left wrist. Action is mechanically sound and functions correctly. This is a well-preserved example of a transitional U.S. military rifle that bridged the gap between single-shot arms and the advent of repeating service rifles.
