Description:
For sale: Antique Springfield “Trapdoor” single-shot rifle in .50-70 Govt. Firm example with a 32" barrel; breach marked 1866 and lockplate dated 1864. Clear period markings — great piece for a Civil War / post-Civil War collection, museum display. No visible serial number (period practice varies) — see photos for condition and markings.
FFL is required. New Jersey Law does NOT have a Pre-1898 Law. So all guns are logged in a FFL Book which then need to transfer to your FFL Dealer.
