Description:
VERY HIGH CONDITION SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1884 .45-70 TRAPDOOR RIFLE, #472XXX, WITH GOOD 1889 STOCK CARTOUCHE. One of the better ones I’ve seen in a while, this example has a bright perfect bore and retains nearly all the deep blue on the barrel, barrel bands, trigger guard etc. with only some light muzzle wear and edge wear. The correctly 1884 dated breech block also retains some vivid case color on the top portion as does the upper tang. The hammer and lock plate show fine deep “inky” blue-black oil quenched case hardening. Retains the original excellent Buffington rear sight as well as the correct style cleaning rod and leather military sling. The stock is excellent, having never been sanded, and shows only light normal handling. As I always say when I advertise one of these, they are still one of the best bargains on the antique firearms market today- the Springfield workmanship, fit and finish is outstanding. These are historical, finely made rifles in a great caliber that are great collectables as well as shooters with the proper ammunition. This is a particularly fine example.
