The Springfield Trapdoor officer model is one of the most elegant and most handy hunting rifles of the 19th century, but it is still a capable hunting gun today even with black powder cartridge. For this project I was lent an original 45-70-500 Ideal tool as well to make the story full. Here is the story of the Officer model and the story of the early years of reloading business.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
