So..... Anybody want a Trapdoor Springfield?
From what I can find out about it, serial number puts it at 1885 mfg. It appears to be a rifle that had a carbine barrel put on it. There are OLD vice marks on the barrel, but they match the patina on the rest of it. No front sight.
It's an antique, so I can mail it to you. Is $400 out of line?
I'm going to drag it around with me today, see if I can learn anything more about it. I have a couple items on layaway, might try to trade it. Email me at 5shot44@gmail.com if interested.
