What about the H&R Springfield rifle and carbine (Officer's) that were sold during the 1970s and 80s...they took a modern .45/70 cartridge...I believe they were of the last pattern made, be that 1884 or later I don't know...
I fired my friend's carbine--kicks like a mule and the barrel is too short for really good accuracy but a great bush gun for hunting...
The military called it the 18XX Springfield Rifle the civilians much later labelled it the Trapdoor model...
