This Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor rifle was manufactured in 1878 and is chambered in .45-70 Government. It features a 33-inch barrel with a 13-inch length of pull. The rifle is in functional mechanical condition with a smooth-operating action. The bore is in good condition. The stock is in good overall condition and retains a clear 1883 acceptance cartouche along with a crisp "P" proof mark. The metal exhibits an attractive age-related patina, and the rifle shows normal signs of use and wear consistent with its age.

Manufactured by the Springfield Armory, the Model 1873 Trapdoor was the standard service rifle of the United States Army during the Indian Wars era. Chambered in the powerful .45-70 Government cartridge, these rifles earned a reputation for durability and accuracy while serving on the American frontier. Original Trapdoor rifles with well-preserved inspection cartouches are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and connection to the post-Civil War expansion of the United States.
