Description:
INTERESTING ARSENAL UPDATED 1879/1888 SPRINGFIELD TRAPDOOR .45-70 RIFLE. This one is in the serial range of 142XXX which puts the year of manufacture at 1881. The stock cartouche is faint but readable and is also correctly dated 1881. No doubt this one was simply returned to Springfield for updates including putting the rod bayonet on as well as fitting the 1888 butt plate with sliding door compartment for c
leaning rods and the correct Buffington rear sight. 1873 breechblock is dated 1873 and shows some mottled gray case color. Usual Eagle and Springfield marked lock plate. Barrel is an uncleaned gray/brown with a bright excellent bore. Correct sling swivels, generally excellent stock showing only light handling. The Model 188 Rod Bayonet Trapdoor is considered one of the best shooting of the Trapdoor line. Overall an attractive and historical Trapdoor.
