Pedersoli Springfield Trapdoor Single Shot Centerfire Rifle 45-70 Government 22″ Barrel Blued and Walnut Straight Grip Information
Springfield Rifle: at the end of the Civil War (1865), the war department had to replace the excellent muzzle loading muskets with metallic cartridge rifles. Between 1865 and 1866 appeared the first transformation of a muzzle loading Springfield musket made by Allin and in 1868 the first “Trapdoor Rifle” was built, further modified in 1870; three years later a new rifle in the .45-70 caliber answered to all the exigencies. During the following 20 years quite a big number of Springfield Trapdoor rifles have been manufactured, among them also many versions with smooth barrel for cadets, for the target shooting and destined to the Officers. The Springfield rifle is a typical gun of the American soldiers, including General Custer. It equipped the troops also during the Spanish-American War (1898-1899). Davide Pedersoli Co. is pleased to be able to offer flawless reproductions which follow the originals perfectly and blend traditional gunsmith’s handcraft arts to state of the art technology.

I think this is amazing. Lots of features and customizable from every point of view. The few times I asked for help in support they were competent, fast and above all very patient. Really recommend

I’m normally drawn to lever guns, revolvers etc. but have always loved my 10-22s and used to have an old Ruger .44mag carbine. I was looking for something similar to my 10-22 but with a tad more power. I really like the Mini 14 but they are quite pricey now. This little 9mm PC carbine is a BLAST to shoot. The iron sights are good and I added a Sig red dot on a riser. Best of both worlds! I can’t believe how accurate it is even over 50 yds using bulk FMJ ammo. At 25 yards it just makes one big hole when dumping the mags. This is a super-fun gun and easy to maintain especially being take-down. I added a flashlight as well and using good hollow points it would be a great home defense weapon. Get one, shoot it and you’ll love it.
