Indian Wars U.S. SPRINGFIELD Model 1873 TRAPDOOR .45-70 GOVT. Caliber Rifle Manufactured at the Start of the GREAT SIOUX WAR!
Description: Indian Wars U.S. SPRINGFIELD Model 1873 TRAPDOOR .45-70 GOVT. Caliber Rifle Manufactured at the Start of the GREAT SIOUX WAR! Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor Rifle, made by the Springfield Armory in 1876. 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. As white settlers moved into the Great Plains region, they battled the Plains Indian tribes in a series of conflicts known as the Sioux Wars, which lasted from 1854 to 1890. In 1875, the discovery of gold in the Black Hills region of South Dakota brought prospective miners into the area and onto the hunting grounds of the Sioux Indians. The US Army responded to the pleas of the white settlers and miners for protection against the Sioux, and the Great Sioux War of 1876-77 erupted. It was the last major conflict between the US Army and the Sioux tribe. The U.S. continued to see unrest and conflict with the displaced Native Americans during this time, all the way through to the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29th, 1890. Trapdoors continued to see use all the way through the Spanish American War. The overall condition is fine. Excellent action! Bright bore. “1873” dated. The stock is in very fine shape with minimal wear. “SIC” is tamped onto the left wrist. “B/14” is marked atop the comb near the butt plate tang. Here is a truly wonderful, must have, Springfield trapdoor! 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 $1885 #210364 SOLD Antique: Yes |
