Massachusetts Militia with Trapdoor Springfields?
I was looking up Calvin Coolidge and I found this picture from during the Boston Police Strike of 1919, where Governor Coolidge is inspecting Massachusetts State Militiamen who look like they're armed with Trapdoor Springfield rifles. Which leads to the question, were Trapdoor Springfields really in service as late as the 20th century?
