This Pedersoli Springfield Trapdoor Carbine is chambered in .45-70 Government and carries
a 22 inch barrel. It is new in the box. Included with it is a good quality reproduction
United States spade, or trowel, bayonet together with its scabbard. Both the carbine and
the bayonet are modern reproductions rather than period originals.
Davide Pedersoli & Co. builds reproductions of historical firearms, and this carbine is a
modern Pedersoli product rather than an original nineteenth century Springfield. The
company was founded in 1957 in Italy and remains family managed from Gardone Val Trompia,
and in the United States its products are distributed through Italian Firearms Group of
Amarillo, Texas. Pedersoli catalogues this model as the S900 Springfield Trapdoor Carbine,
reproducing the cavalry pattern of the trapdoor design. It uses the breech-loading
trapdoor action as a single shot, with a 22 inch barrel rifled with three grooves at a
1:22 twist, an overall length of 41 5/16 inches, a weight of 7.27 pounds, an adjustable
rear sight and a fixed front sight.
