Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1884 “TRAPDOOR” .45-70 GOVT Rifle INDIAN WARS
Single Shot U.S. MILITARY Rifle SWP/1889 Cartouche
Description: Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1884 “TRAPDOOR” .45-70 GOVT Rifle INDIAN WARS
Single Shot U.S. MILITARY Rifle SWP/1889 Cartouche
Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1884 Trapdoor Rifle, manufactured at the Springfield Armory. This rifle was manufactured circa October of 1889, nearing the end of the Indian Wars and just over a year before 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.
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 U.S. 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.
