Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD Model 1884 “TRAPDOOR” .45-70 GOVT Caliber Rifle
With SOCKET BAYONET and SCABBARD/HANGER
Description: Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD Model 1884 “TRAPDOOR” .45-70 GOVT Caliber Rifle With SOCKET BAYONET and SCABBARD/HANGER Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1884 Trapdoor Rifle, made 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 a very clear 1889 dated inspector cartouche with the initials “SWP”, for Master Armorer and Ordnance Inspector Samuel W. Porter. The overall condition is fine. Here is a truly beautiful rifle that showcases a bright bore, strong action, and an excellent stock! On the left wrist a “1889” dated cartouche is legible. There is a “circle/P” stamped behind the trigger guard. Original blue and case colors have been preserved. The bayonet and scabbard are fine! 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 $1945 #210856 SOLD Antique: Yes |
