after the civil war there were many, many musket percussion rifles. about that time the war department sought to switch to the 50/70 center fire cartridge by cutting out a portion of the breach and affixing a door that lift up to load the shell and extract spent round. from that change came the term 'trapdoor'. this term was continued on to the rifle later produced in 45/70 caliber as the 50/70 caliber was not to war departments liking
