Description:
An interesting U.S. Springfield armory model 1873,  made in 1874 with a SN of 18,384, with a 29" barrel with a very clean rifled bore and slight roughness in the grooves from black powder ammunition, but not pitted. Exterior metal is blue turning to grey from finish loss, but smooth and clean, a few patches of very fine salt and pepper pits near the breech and the side of the rear sight..Has the front barrel band that is the stacking type, and the early 1873 rear sight. The American walnut stock is good with typical field usage dings and a cartouche on the left side . Overall a historic gun for black powder cartridges.Also has a cleaning rod. When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
