US Marked SPRINGFIELD Model 1888 TRAPDOOR Rifle With Cleaning Rod Bayonet!
Description: US Marked SPRINGFIELD Model 1888 TRAPDOOR Rifle With Cleaning Rod Bayonet! Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1888 Trapdoor Rifle in .45-70 GOVT, made circa 1893 in Springfield, Massachusetts. These were the last of the trapdoor rifles that were in use since the end of the American Civil War. It also marked the end of the black powder-era, single shot, big-bore, hammer-fired rifles in U.S. service. The U.S. government would adopt the Krag-Jorgensen in 30-40 Krag, a smokeless, small-bore, bolt action repeater. However, when the U.S. went to war with Spain in the Spanish-American War in Cuba, many, if not a majority, of the state militia troops were still using the latest models of trapdoor rifle. This rifle is equipped with a ramrod bayonet. The lock is marked with a federal eagle and “U.S. SPRINGFIELD. Many state militias purchased these and used them long after they were out of use with the federal military. The overall condition is rough. This one has seen much use and weathering. The stock has been repaired around the lock and the screw opposite the lock. The bore is dark. The action remains functional. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 32-5/8 inches. Caliber: .45-70 GOVT Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $900 #190009 SOLD Antique: Yes |
