Description:
SALE PENDING In 1868, using Remington-made,1866, rolling block actions, Springfield Armory converted 500 Civil War rifle-muskets.
Brazed-in .50 caliber liners and chambered in .50-70 Govt.
This is one (#20) of those "transformed" conversions.
The only parts that I know are original are the barrel, forend wood, and upper part of the receiver.
Other parts are replacements. Trigger group is a later replacement and functions fine.
Rear sight is original, front sight looks shopmade.
Bore is frosted a few inches in front of the chamber, but shiny the rest of the way with strong rifling.
Trigger pull is robust, fires fine, and is suprisingly accurate.
I have a few (14) empty casings and 3 pc RCBS loading die set w/shell holder, for an additional $100.00 if you want.
Also 3 dummy rounds (damaged casings) for display.
Antique, so only proof of age req. $75.00 shipped to your door.
