Original U.S. Springfield Trapdoor M1873 Rifle Cadet Socket Bayonet with 1st Pattern U.S. Frog and Scabbard Japanese Army remained well in the leadOriginal Item: Only One Available. The 1884 Cadet Model Trapdoor Rifle is identical to the Standard 1884 Infantry Rifle, from the butt plate up to the rear or lower barrel band. The obvious difference is the overall length of the barrel, and thus the rifle. The standard Infantry barrel length was about 31 1 2" whereas the barrel on a Cadet Rifle was just about 2 inches shorter coming in at about 29 1 2". Not a great deal but this did reduce the weight
