Springfield 1873 TD 45-70 Breechloading Rifle from THE LITTLE SPORTSMAN SHOP LLC near NORTHUMBERLAND, Pennsylvania, USA

The Springfield Model 1873 was a trapdoor breechblock service rifle produced by the Springfield Armory for the United States military. It was the first standard-issue breech-loading rifle adopted by the United States Army (although the Springfield Model 1866 had seen limited issue to troops along the Bozeman Trail in 1867). The rifle, in both full-length and carbine versions, was widely used in subsequent battles against Native Americans.
