Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The 1871 and its variants were the service rifle of the Armed forces of the Netherlands between 1871 and 1895, and by the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army into the 1900s. It was one of the first military arms adopted by a European power using a metallic cartridge. The bolt of the rifle used a split bolt design similar to the French Chassepot, and used a unique leaf mainspring inside the two-piece bolt handle—which was later used by the Murata Type 13 and Type 18 rifles in Japan.
Following the successful introduction of breechloading rifles in European armies in the 1860s, Dutch officials sought to modernize its service rifle. In 1867, the Dutch army converted its Muzzleloader rifles using the Snider–Enfield breechloading system until a new rifle could be chosen. In 1870, after trials of rifles from companies including Peabody, Remington, Cooper, Comblain, Jenks and Benson-Poppenburg, the Dutch army selected the Beaumont rifle designed by Edouard de Beaumont.
The rifle was not adopted for cavalry use due to the bolt making it difficult to carry while slung across the back. Instead, cavalry troops received the Remington Rolling block rifle. Several armies expressed interest in the design. There were 150 rifles tested by the French military between 1872 and 1874, and others tested in Germany, but the Beaumont was not adopted by either service. The Royal Danish Army also tested the rifle in 1887.
