Included are Sporting Rifles, the Metcalfe device, the M1875 Officer's Rifles, the M1880 Triangular rod-bayonet rifle, the 1881 Long-Range rifles, the M1881 Marksman's rifle, the M1882 Short rifles with 28 barrel, the M1884 Experimental (flat-latch) rod-bayonet rifles, the M1886 XC 24 barrel carbine, the .30 caliber ammunition test rifles of the 1890s, and more . . . In addition to the Allin-system 'trapdoors' noted above, individual and comprehensive chapters are devoted to the Model 1875 Lee-Springfield vertical breech rifle, all five versions of those martial-type Winchester-Hotchkiss repeating arms assembled by Springfield Armory, and, last but not least, the rare Chaffee-Reece magazine gun from the 1882 trials. The book also contains the largest-known accumulation (nearly 50 years in the making) of early Model 1873 Carbine serial numbers from the Custer Period, over 1,250 at time of publication.
