Description:
FINE INDIAN WARS 1879 TRAPDOOR .45-70 CARBINE, #132XXX, WITH LIGHT BUT LEGIBLE 1879 DATED STOCK CARTOUCHE. This is a really attractive example that hasn’t been messed with. The rear sight is marked “C” for carbine and the trap in the butt contains rods. There is also a light circle P proof behind the lower tang. Crisp “U.S. MODEL 1873” marked breech block along with the usual eagle and “U.S. SPRINGFIELD” marked lock plate. Bore is about excellent and any roughness or frost is very surface and ought to scrub out. Stock is dark and uncleaned and never been sanded, showing normal handling wear without any cracks etc. Fine dark aged barrel blue with dark mottled breech block. Balance of metal an honest aged patina showing no cleaning or steel wooling. Tight action, ring and bar intact. A nice, unmolested Indian Wars carbine with an honest appearance. Getting hard to find like this.
