INDIAN WARS Antique SPRINGFIELD US Model 1870 TRAPDOOR Rifle .50-70 GOVT
Made for the American Civil War & Converted to Centerfire!
Here we present an antique Springfield U.S. Model 1870 Trapdoor Rifle in .50-70 GOVT, initially made circa 1864 then converted circa 1871 at the federal armory. Muskets were out and cartridges were in after the end of Civil War hostilities. The reunited American government wanted to update their arsenal without throwing out the hundreds of thousands of muskets they had just produced for the bloody fratricidal feud, so they utilized a breech-loading conversion invented and named for Erskine S. Allen, the Springfield Armory Master Armorer.
The overall condition is good. Original case colored hammer. Most of the finish has settled as a gray patina. Excellent action. This rifle has a semi-bright bore. Some chips on the stock, but is overall in good condition with typical handling wear. The left side of the stock displays remnants of two cartouches. It comes with a good leather sling. “1863” dated lock. “1870” marked breechblock. Barrel is marked “1201”.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 32-5/8 inches.
