Historical Significance of the Springfield Trapdoor Rifle

The original Springfield Trapdoor rifles played a critical role in American military history. In 1873, the Army redesigned the Allen Trapdoor rifle to accommodate the powerful .45-70 military cartridge. Both full-stocked rifles with 32″ barrels and half-stocked carbines were produced. These Trapdoor rifles saw action in major historical events, including Custer’s infamous expedition at the Battle of Little Big Horn, where the 7th Cavalry rode into history armed with Trapdoor Carbines. Likewise, notable Native American leaders like Sitting Bull and Geronimo carried Trapdoor rifles during the same period.

Beyond the Indian Wars, the Springfield Trapdoor was widely used by American forces during the Spanish-American War, serving in both Cuba and the Philippines. Today, Uberti continues this legacy, producing Trapdoor rifles from modern steel, ensuring they are as functional and reliable as they are historically accurate.
