If "1973" is the date the rifle was produced it couldn't have been used in the civil war because the civil war was in the 1860's.I think you mean "1873" the Trapdoor was used in the Indian wars and the Spanish American War. During WW1 it was used for training and Stateside guard duty.
During the US Civil War one weapon was the most used one by the Union infantry. This was the 1861 Model of the Springfield rifle.
A muzzleloading rifle caplock single shot rifle. At the start of the war, each unit supplied it's own arms, and they could be quite different. Later the rifle was standardized after the Springfield musket.

I own an original 1850 Springfield rifle used in the civil war! It has the bayonet as well on the end of the Rifle extending its length an extra 2 feet or so.
Sharps Rifle was a popular Union Rifle during the civil war
Union forces had privately purchased them. Rebel forces used captured repeating rifles. The repeater, was considered the "assault rifle" of the Civil War. Just as the M16 assault rifle replaced the M14 rifle in Vietnam.
The top ten weapons used in the Civil War were the Springfield Model 1861 musket, the Enfield Pattern 1853 rifled musket, the Spencer repeating rifle, the Colt Model 1860 revolver, the Henry rifle, the Whitworth rifle, the Sharps rifle, the Gatling gun, the Dahlgren naval cannon, and the Parrott rifle.
