INDIAN WARS Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1888 TRAPDOOR Rifle w/RAMROD BAYONET
“SWP/1891” Steven W. Porter CARTOUCHE & SLING
Description: INDIAN WARS Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1888 TRAPDOOR Rifle w/RAMROD BAYONET “SWP/1891” Steven W. Porter CARTOUCHE & SLING Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1888 Trapdoor Rifle in .45-70 GOVT, made circa 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts. These were the last of the trapdoor rifles that were in use since the end of the American Civil War. It also marked the end of the black powder-era, single shot, big-bore, hammer-fired rifles in U.S. service. The U.S. government would adopt the Krag-Jorgensen in 30-40 Krag, a smokeless, small-bore, bolt action repeater. However, when the U.S. went to war with Spain in the Spanish-American War in Cuba, many, if not a majority, of the state militia troops were still using the latest models of trapdoor rifle. This rifle is equipped with a ramrod bayonet and a highly adjustable and optimistic Buffington rear sight. Many state militias purchased these and used them long after they were out of use with the federal military. The left stock is clearly marked SWP/1891, indicating that this rifle was inspected by Steven W. Porter, Master Armorer and Ordnance Inspector at the Springfield Armory. The overall condition is good. Robust action. Bright rifled bore. Solid stock with a nice cartouche on the left stock flat. Legible markings. The leather sling is in good shape. The lock is marked with a federal eagle and “U.S. SPRINGFIELD”. 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 $2000 #247328 Price: $2,000.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
