Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1884 “TRAPDOOR” .45-70 GOVT Rifle WOUNDED KNEE
Made Just After the WOUNDED KNEE MASSACRE
Description: Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1884 “TRAPDOOR” .45-70 GOVT Rifle WOUNDED KNEE Made Just After the WOUNDED KNEE MASSACRE Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1884 Trapdoor Rifle, manufactured by the Springfield Armory. This rifle was manufactured in April of 1891, around the end of the Indian Wars and just months after 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. The overall condition is good. Original brown patina. Strong action. Bright bore. The stock is solid with an average amount of wear. The left wrist has cartouche remnants. Markings are legible. 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 $1500 #244055 SOLD Antique: Yes |
