Original Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor rifle, serial 37048, chambered in .45-70.

According to Springfield Armory production records, this rifle was manufactured in January 1875, placing it in the earliest years of Trapdoor production.

This example remains all original, with untouched patina on the metal surfaces and wear on the wooden stock from age and use. The rifle has not been refinished or altered — it retains its authentic 19th-century service condition.

A solid representation of the early Trapdoor rifles, valued by collectors for both its originality and documented production date. Offered as-is; please review photos carefully for overall condition.

No FFL is required, but we'll still meet at an FFL for safety. Payment by cash at pickup.
