Description:
<<<SOLD>>>> A Springfield Armory clearly marked on the lock-plate 1838. The 32" round rifled  bore barrel has surface corrosion but not pitted-out. The exterior metal has heavy brown metal/aged patina. The lock works well and the nipple is complete. The American walnut stock has had a difficult life with the front end shaved down into a carbine and done with an axe, tomahawk, or knife. At the butplate the top spine of the stock has a a long sliver of wood missing up to the iron buttplate that is marked: US .Stock has an ovel cartouche' and initials of TD. The wear and damage of this rifle is commonWhen 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
for Indian captured and used rifles in the  Indian Plains War. Has one original barrel band and the bore appears to be .70cal. or about 12ga. A colorful wall hanger,  untouched .
