Springfield Model 1875

The Springfield Model 1875 was a variant of the Springfield Model 1873 rifle.

History and Design
The Model 1875 officer's rifle was checkered fore and aft of the trapdoor breech and tipped with white metal. It was fitted with a "globe and pinhead" foresight and a "buckhorn" backsight on the barrel.

It also featured a well-made peep sight fitted on the small of the stock, which was graduated for ranges from 50 to(-). The rifle had a trigger which could be set to use as a hair trigger. A wooden cleaning rod was fitted under the barrel, and was referred to as a "ramrod" in the rifle's documentation.

The rifle originally sold for $36.
