Blue,
You're right about the Little Bighorn fight. Custer's troopers were armed with Colt 1873 SAA 45 caliber revolvers and Model 1873 Trapdoor Springfield rifles.
The Trapdoor Springfield was our military rifle until 1892 when the Army adopted the .30 caliber Krag-Jorgensen rifle...a bolt action repeater.
