Time Traveler: Uberti's Model 1873 Springfield Trapdoor Rifle

Описание к видео Time Traveler: Uberti's Model 1873 Springfield Trapdoor Rifle

Looking back helps me appreciate how well I have it today. Travel was measured in days, not hours. People rode horses, and cavalry regiments were the norm for any army 150 years ago. Smokeless powder and jacketed bullets had not been conceived, but black powder propelled plain lead projectiles long distances with accuracy and great stopping power.

In 1873, Springfield Armory issued the powerful .45-70 caliber Trapdoor rifle to the U.S. Army. Now, Uberti makes a faithful high-quality reproduction of that rifle capable of handling modern smokeless ammunition or black powder rounds. Join me as I examine and shoot this recreation from long ago.
