Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD Model 1884 “TRAPDOOR” .45-70 GOVT Caliber Rifle
INDIAN WARS Era Rifle with LEATHER SLING
Description: Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD Model 1884 “TRAPDOOR” .45-70 GOVT Caliber Rifle INDIAN WARS Era Rifle with LEATHER SLING Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1884 Trapdoor Rifle, manufactured by the Springfield Armory. This rifle was manufactured in 1889, around the Indian the end of the Indian Wars and just before the Wounded Knee massacre. After the Civil War, the War Department wanted a breech-loading rifle. To be specific, it wanted a breech-loading rifle that would chamber a self-primed, metallic cartridge. Amazingly, despite the adoption of the ill-fated Model 1882 Chaffee-Reese Bolt Action Magazine Rifle, new models of trapdoor rifles continued to be produced and used all the way through the mid-1890s, until finally, the Krag-Jorgensen was adopted. The U.S. continued to see unrest and conflict with the displaced Native Americans during this time, including the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29th, 1890. Trapdoors continued to see use all the way through the Spanish American War. This example has an 1889 dated inspector cartouche with the initials “SWP”, for Master Armorer and Ordnance Inspector Samuel W. Porter. The overall condition is good. Strong action. Bright, nicely rifled bore. This example has experienced an average amount of wear on the stock and a cartouche remnant can be found on the left side of the wrist. Clear markings. “1878” dated. Good leather sling. 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 $1450 #228233 SOLD Antique: Yes |
