H&R 1873 trapdoor
.45-70 GOVT
Description: Guns Listing ID: 479372 The H&R (Harrington & Richardson) Trapdoor refers to a type of firearm made by the Harrington & Richardson company, particularly known for its \"Trapdoor\" rifles. The term \"Trapdoor\" refers to a specific type of breech-loading action that was common in the late 19th century. These rifles were designed for use with metallic cartridges and featured a hinged breech that \"traps\" the cartridge in place when the breech is closed. Historical Context: The H&R Trapdoor rifles were influenced by the U.S. military‚‚s adoption of similar designs, especially the Springfield Trapdoor rifle, which was adopted after the Civil War. However, H&R manufactured civilian versions for hunting and sport shooting. Trapdoor Mechanism: The \"trapdoor\" is a hinged part of the rifle‚‚s breech that opens when the action is manually operated, allowing the loading and unloading of cartridges. This mechanism was a significant improvement over muzzle-loading firearms, as it allowed for faster reloading. Cartridges: These rifles typically used cartridges like the .45-70 Government, a popular round during the late 19th century and into the early 20th century, although H&R made rifles for various calibers. Design Features: H&R Trapdoor rifles often featured a single-shot breech-loading system, where the user had to manually load each round after firing. Uses: These firearms were commonly used for hunting, target shooting, and were sometimes used by military reenactors, as they are iconic of the late 1800s period. Harrington & Richardson, the company that produced these trapdoor rifles, was a well-known American firearm manufacturer, best known for making affordable firearms. The company was established in 1871 and went on to produce a wide range of gu SOLD Manufacturer: H&R Model: 1873 trapdoor Caliber Info: .45-70 GOVT Condition: Used - Non-Certified Barrels: 32 Finish: blue |
