Springfield Model 1866
From Warlike
Q255212
The Springfield Model 1866 was a rifle made by the Springfield Armory between 1866 and 1873 featuring the Allin-designed trapdoor breech-loading mechanism, a refinement of the Springfield Model 1865. Originally developed as a means of converting rifle muskets to breechloaders, the Allin modification ultimately became the basis for the definitive Springfield Model 1873, the first breech-loading rifle adopted by the United States War Department for manufacture and widespread issue to U.S. troops.
