Description:
REDUCED!!! THIS GUN IS A MODEL 1873/79 U. S. SPRINGFIELD TRAPDOOR CARBINE MADE IN 1885 WITH SERIAL NUMBER 277042. THE 1879'S RETAINED THE MODEL 1873 STAMP ON THE BREECH. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE MODEL 1879 IS NOT AN OFFICIAL DESIGNATION BY THE U. S. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY. THERE WERE ONLY TWO OFFICIAL MODELS OF THE U. S. SPRINGFIELD 45-70 TRAPDOOR CARBINES AND THAT IS THE MODELS 1873 AND 1884. NONE WERE MADE AFTER 1890. THIS CARBINE HAS THE CORRECT FRONT SIGHT WITH PIN. IT HAS THE CORRECT REAR SIGHT WITH THE "C" FOR CARBINE. IT HAS THE CORRECT SHORT GRIP STOCK. IT HAS THE CORRECT TRAPDOOR IN THE BUTT STOCK WITH THE TOOLS. IT HAS THE CORRECT TRIGGER AND TRIGGER GUARD. IT HAS THE CORRECT HAMMER. IT HAS THE CORRECT LOCK PLATE. IT HAS THE CORRECT BARREL BAND WITH THE "U." THE GUN HAS THE ACCURATE 3 CLICK PATTERN WHEN COCKING THE GUN. THIS GUN IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. RIFLING IS GOOD AS IS BORE. METAL IS GOOD AS IS THE STOCK. NO CIRCLE "P" SHOWING. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD OLD ANTIQUE TRAPDOOR WORTH THE MONEY, THIS IS A GOOD ONE TO HAVE. I HAVE HAD 9 TRAPDOORS OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS MY LAST ONE TO GO. I'VE BEEN COLLECTING FOR OVER 50 YEARS. I AM LIQUIDATING MY ANTIQUE GUN COLLECTION (SEE OTHER ADS.) THE DATE ON THE CARTOUCHE DOES NOT INDICATE WHEN THE GUN WAS MADE. IT INDICATES WHEN THE GUN WAS INSPECTED BY SAMUEL W. PORTER AND LEFT THE FACTORY. THIS GUN IS NOT A CUT DOWN FROM A RIFLE. IT'S VERY WELL POSSIBLE THIS GUN WAS USED DURING THE INDIAN WARS. NO ONE WOULD KNOW FOR SURE. THIS IS A REAL NICE 45-70 GENUINE TRAPDOOR FOR THE MONEY!!! SHIPS TO BUYER FOR FREE. YOU WOULD ACTUALLY BE PAYING $1,150.00 FOR THE GUN, AS IT COSTS ME $50.00 TO SHIP IT.) NO FFL (ANTIQUE.) (SEE FLAYDERMAN'S GUIDE TO ANTIQUE AMERICAN FIREARMS; 9TH EDITION PAGES 582-584. ALSO, YOU MAY WANT TO REFER TO THE BOOK, THE 45-70 SPRINGFIELD BY JOE POYER AND CRAIG RIESCH. IF YOU NEED FURTHER ASSISSTANCE IN DETERMINING THE ORIGINALITY OF A TRAPDOOR CARBINE, CONTACT AL FRASCA ON LINE.) I CAN DO LAY-A-WAY.
