NICE Antique SPRINGFIELD Model 1879 TRAPDOOR Rifle
Description:
NICE Antique SPRINGFIELD Model 1879 TRAPDOOR Rifle
The Original 45-70 GOVT, Made Circa 1885
Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1879 Trapdoor Rifle, made circa 1885 by Springfield Armory. 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 specimen is marked “U.S./MODEL/1878” on the breech block. The lock is marked “Eagle/U.S./Springfield”. The left side of the barrel bears the “V/P/Eagle head” proof marks. The left side of the stock bears a faint inspector cartouche and the circle “P” is located behind the trigger guard.
The overall condition is very good. The steel has a gray patina. The markings are clear. The stock is in good shape with faint cartouche. The bore is excellent, bright with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. Here is a very nice US government issue rifle from the Indian Wars-era that would be great to collect and shoot!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 32-5/8 inches.
Caliber: 45-70 Government
Overall condition as seen in photos.
