The Springfield .45 Model 1884 Trapdoor Rifle is a notable American firearm, recognized for its innovative design and historical significance. Adopted by the U.S. Army in the late 19th century, it featured a single-shot, breech-loading mechanism known as the "trapdoor," which allowed for quicker reloading compared to earlier muzzle-loading rifles.

Chambered for the .45-70 Government cartridge, the Model 1884 was used primarily during the Indian Wars and into the Spanish-American War. Its sturdy construction and reliability made it a favored choice among soldiers.
