Trivia

  • The Springfield Rifle is based on the Springfield "Trapdoor" Model 1873 rifle.
  • Unlike the Red Dead Redemption version, which was a four-shot rifle which reloaded similar to a Repeater, this version is modelled accurately, the rifle is a single-shot breechloader and the reload animation involves Arthur Morgan pulling back the hammer to half-cock, opening the "Trap door", putting a round into the breech, closing the "Trap door" and finally pulling the hammer all the way back.
  • According to the Weapon Catalogue's description the rifle was created as a conversion of old muzzle-loading rifles used during the War of Northern Aggression, this parallels the history of the real life "Trapdoor Springfield", which were originally created as breechloading conversions of the Springfield Model 1861 and Model 1863 muzzle-loading rifles.
  • With a scope attached the rifle can be a good substitute for the Rolling Block Rifle.
