The H&R 1873 Trapdoor is a reproduction of the classic Springfield Model 1873 “Trapdoor” rifle, one of the most recognisable American military rifle designs of the late 19th century. Built around the distinctive hinged breechblock action, the Trapdoor system is simple, strong, and historically significant, offering the traditional handling and appearance of the original black-powder era rifles.

Chambered in .45-70 Government, this rifle delivers the classic large-bore performance associated with the original U.S. service cartridge. The rifle features a full-length timber stock, military-style barrel bands, external hammer, and ladder-style rear sight, giving it an authentic period appearance suitable for collectors, historical shooters, or enthusiasts of classic military firearms.
