The Springfield Model 1865 was an early breech-loading rifle manufactured by U.S. Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts. It was a modification of the Springfield Model 1861. It was later replaced with the Springfield Model 1866.During the U.S. Civil War, the advantage of breech-loading rifles became obvious. The rifled muskets used during the war had a rate of fire of 2 or 3 rounds per minute. Breech-loading rifles increased the rate of fire to 8 to 10 rounds per minute with the additional advantage that they can be easily loaded from a prone, rather than standing, position, reducing the rifleman's visible cross section and thus vulnerability to counter-fire. As the Civil War drew to a close, the U.S. Ordnance Department requested prototypes of breech-loading weapons from arms manufacturers all over the world.
After considerable testing, the prototype developed by Erskine S. Allin of the government-operated Springfield Armory was chosen for its simplicity and the fact that it could be produced by the modification of existing Springfield Model 1863 muskets. These modifications cost about $5 per rifle (around $73 adjusted for inflation), which was a significant savings at a time when new rifles cost about $20 each (around $292 adjusted for inflation). Patent No. 49,959 was issued to Erskine S. Allin on September 19, 1865,

You guys have really hit this one out of the park. Y’all did a lot of work and it shows. 👍👍

Glad it was helpful!

Hopefully the next gonna be out mid march
RIP Carl Gula from Black Powder Firearms Enthusiast. He had a great channel that demonstrated Black powder firearms.😢🙏
Black powder folks have to stick together to promote the enjoyment of shooting black powder firearms.
I didn't realize he died until I saw it on Facebook just a little while ago. We were pretty good friends on Facebook and chatted quite a bit on messenger.
Video promoting the GoFundMe coming shortly
That was excellent!
thankyou very much
Been reading about us-native relations in the 1860s-70s, and the opening hit very hard

You guys crushed it, can't wait for the next installment!
thankyou very much
Good evening from Syracuse NY and thank you for sharing your thoughts and information video
Thanks for watching!
I enjoy your videos
I am ready to start this 1st
You got this!
there is one important Springfields ever that was replicated, it is the '55 dragoon Pistol with stock attached, .58 caliber, maybe the first .58.
Good video
Thanks
That was a great video. Can't wait to see the rest.
lol now im super excited to make the rest
i love the way they dress you up, put a gun in your hand flip the switch and off you go. when the camera needs film turn you off. Noisy isn't he. He does make amazing shots, does'nt he, good cut in background music, name of song ? played rimshot to same song. At one time could play it on bugle.
This is the only trapdoor i dont own. I can imagine it has the same lines and feel as an 1866 except possible a little lighter due to no barrel sleeve?
i would say the general feel is the same but the door it is a completely different animal. very complex compared to the 66 which is why the 1866 is much better then the 65
The 66 still has the .50 sleeve, the 68 didn’t.
I have an 1870 trapdoor rifle and love it
Great presentation, fellows! Thanks. Makes me want to dig my 1884 Trapdoor out of the safe.
Thank you for watching and you definitely should
WooooHooooo! Part one!
The music from the first division first corps in McFearsons woods was a nice touch as your intro. Always loved it
thankyou
Excellent presentation, Gentlemen.
Thank you kindly!
Fascinating! Thank you very much!
Very good video. I'm so impressed with your knowledge and research. I especially liked the brief history of Springfield Armoury. That'd be a great series on its own as well. Thank you, this kinda stuff gives me hope for the future. Love, creativity and smarts.
Thank you very much!
48:48 ... Based!...

why thank you very much!
My grandpa has a springfield trap door rifle [long verson] and it's a beauty to fire it can't use powerful ammo because it's an old guy
Extremely well done, thanks!
thankyou very much
fired 1879, trap door Springfield, 3 band with bayonet and scabbard, looked new an 1879 , mus
for a target rifle i prefer the long barreled Spencer 1960 original as an offhand targe rifllt
Great video and history.
thankyou very much
never had a problem with the 1860 original 54/56? better gun all around, Bannerman bought them all they were so popular and cheap they sold Custers, guns to Bannerman and issued them ' 73 Springfield, it is said anybody was going to make any $ out of Springfield and the money was going to Springfield. A friend won a1879 45/70 Springfield. first i loaded rounds with BP and cast lead for a .45 Auto Rim, this is reloading 1956. 200 gr cast bullet for the 45 auto rim, my first centerfire, $35.00 from the Boston Postal Service auction about 200 1917, S&W, some Colts but WHO cares, N frames from S&W almost all unfired .45 acp for 3 round clips, 18 in funny clip holder, better to lay flat in pocket than a speed loader.
Thank you great video finally got to watch it just making some pucks today.
Hope you enjoy
Man, im excited about this. I just found your channel yesterday.
Welcome aboard!
love it now a subscriber for life
👍👍
Awsome video series so far! It made me dig mine out to look at it and research more on it. Its a 1873 model stamped door plate with the SMP 1886 cartouch on the left side. It also has the proof stamp cartouch just below the trigger plate and on the barrel by the reciever. I have not looked up the serial number but Im guessing 1885-86 production due to finding another one within 75k serial range made in 1883. Its chambered in 45-70 so it was a later production and has two numbers stamped on the top curl over butt plate that are heavily worn but still barely visible and what looks like a lower case typed font L right above the numbers ( it could be a 1 also just with top worn smooth or when stamped it wasnt struck head on or flat if that makes sense). I cant wait till you get to my model to learn more!
Hopefully we get there before the end of the year
This is going to be an awesome series I can already tell. I can’t wait for the model ‘66 because I do have one of those. Also, I’m wondering if you’re going to do one on the model 1881 20g TD? Fantastic video👍🏽👍🏽
Yes, we are definitely doing the 1881. We actually searched and searched for one and actually purchased 1 last year. It's one of the best stories in the series in my opinion
@@Real11BangBang oh that is great!! I also have one the barrel assembly is all original but the stock is from a cutdown stock and I left one barrel band on. It’s my favorite TD and favorite shotgun! I still use it for squirrel , grouse and rabbit hunting. I love it! Great work on the first video👍🏽
Ha…….i went back and watched the short panning across the trapdoors on the table and sure enough ,I missed it the first time, but there it was third one from the end the model 1881 ……👍🏽👍🏽
Damn good video y’all, got a trap door myself. Love it to death and so does everyone at the range.
thankyou
