Detailed Review
The Uberti Springfield Trapdoor is a replica of the classic Springfield Trapdoor rifle used by the United States military in the late 1800s. The original Springfield Trapdoor was designed to replace the muzzle-loading muskets that were still in use during the Civil War. It was adopted by the US Army in 1873 and remained in service until it was replaced by the Krag-Jorgensen rifle in 1892. Today, the Uberti Springfield Trapdoor is a popular choice among gun enthusiasts and historical reenactors.
The Uberti Springfield Trapdoor features a 32.5-inch barrel and a breech-loading design. Like the original Springfield Trapdoor, it fires a .45-70 caliber cartridge. The stock is made from American walnut and is finished with a satin oil. The rifle weighs in at just over 9 pounds, making it easy to handle and shoot.
The lock mechanism on the Uberti Springfield Trapdoor is one of its most unique features. The breech block is operated by a lever that swings down from the trigger guard. When the lever is pulled down, the breech block is unlocked and can be opened to load or unload the rifle. This design was considered state-of-the-art when it was first introduced and allowed for faster reloading than previous designs. Today, it remains a hallmark of the Springfield Trapdoor rifle.
Overall, the Uberti Springfield Trapdoor is an excellent replica of one of America's most iconic rifles. Its high-quality construction and attention to detail make it a favorite among history buffs and collectors alike. Whether you're looking to add to your collection or simply want to experience a piece of American history, the Uberti Springfield Trapdoor is a rifle that won't disappoint.

Unhappily I must post a negative review. I closely examined this rifle at my FFL dealer . The barrel and other metal parts were grease covered and I spent considerable time in the inspection but I should have wiped off all the grease before accepting the

I've largely decided that my next gun is going to be the Uberti Springfield Trapdoor Carbine .45-70. I've handled it in a Houston gunshop and it is nice! Nice finish, wood stock. The only thing is...it's so dang expensive. Around $1100. And for a si
