Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Springfield Model 1884 was one of the last members of the infamous "Trapdoor" Springfield rifles. Although other versions of the "Trapdoor" Springfields were produced after 1884, the Model 1884 was the last major redesign of the Springfield Rifles before the Springfield Armory focused on building their own Krag Jorgensen Rifle.The Springfield Model 1884 was based on the earlier Model 1873 "Trapdoor" Springfield Rifle, taking many elements from that and the models that came in between. This meant that, in appearance at least, the Model 1884 had a very similar look to it to the Model 1873. However, various tweaks were made to the percussion lock mechanism and the breechblock over the years to the Model 1884, all of which were included on the Model 1884.
Among these improvements, a new serrated trigger was introduced. The Springfield Model 1884 was used in large numbers (although those numbers did not come close to the use of older Springfields such as the Model 1861 Rifled Musket) throughout several conflicts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Notable conflicts the the Model 1884 saw use in were the American-Indian Wars (1622-1924), the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine-American War (1899-1902).
