Originally, the trapdoor Springfield rifles were created to convert Springfield Model 1863 rifled muskets to breech-loading rifles at a relatively low cost. This conversion involved replacing the percussion lock with the breech-loading trapdoor mechanism and relining the barrels to convert them from .58 to .50 caliber. This proved problematic, because in the field the lining tended to separate from the barrel. The Model 1868 used a new barrel instead of relining the original older barrel. The new barrel was slightly shorter, 32.5 inches, compared to the 36.5-inch barrel used on the Springfield Model 1866. Local sales take priority. Seller must collect sales tax.
