SPRINGFIELD M1866 Allin Conversion TRAPDOOR Rifle
Description:
SPRINGFIELD M1866 Allin Conversion TRAPDOOR Rifle
.50-70 Made Famous During the Indian Wars
Here is an antique Springfield Model 1866 Allin Trapdoor Conversion, the rifle being made in 1864 and then converted in 1866. After the American Civil War, the United States military was slow to adopt new technological advances in firearms and opted to retrofit their enormous surplus inventory of Model 1861 type muskets to fire cartridges. Many different types of conversions were conceived and implemented. This one is named for its inventor, Erskine S. Allin, Master Armorer for Springfield Armory.
These conversions were the main infantry weapon of the West and played a large role in the Indian Wars of the late 19th century. 25,000 Model 1863s received the Allin Conversion, enabling them to be loaded via the breach through a “trapdoor” mechanism.
The tail of the lock is dated “1864” and the front of the lock is marked “EAGLE/U.S./SPRINGFIELD”. The breech is dated “1866”. The left stock is marked “13”. The top of the butt plate is marked “U.S.” There is a single government inspector cartouche remaining with the initials “HSH”. The bayonet is marked “US” with a smaller “S” inspection mark.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces are dark with age. The markings are clear and legible. The walnut stock is dark and shows typical handling. There is a gouge on the right side of the butt that caused a splinter, but other than that the stock is solid. The bore is in good condition, dark with sharp rifling. The action is excellent, strong and crisp. Here is a nice example of an early trapdoor rifle!

Barrel is 36-5/8 inches.
