Description:
This 45-70 re-arsenaled Model 1881 Springfield Trapdoor has a tapered round 33” by 1/1/16” to 11/16” blued barrel with an adjustable Type 1 rear sight. Moderate metal finish wear is seen around the outside of the muzzle. The bore has scattered light frosting throughout with sharp rifling remaining. The P grade Walnut stock is mounted with blued iron furniture including the sling swivels and as-issued metal cleaning rod. No apparent cracks in the stock – just old handling dents. Just below the rear lock bolt is the stamped inspector’s cartouche that is dated 1881 and below the trigger guard bears the final inspectors cartouche. The trapdoor breech block is dated Model 1873 and has lost all of its color. The underside of the trapdoor has retained 95% of its color. The serial number on the back of the action is followed by a star, indicating that the rifle was re-arsenaled. On the left side of the tang, a small wood chip has been repaired. Stamped on the lock plate is US Springfield and the spread eagle. The action locks up tight and functions as it should. Length of pull is 13”, Overall length is 54” and weight is 9.4 lbs. Good wood to metal fit – made by Springfield Armory. Condition: Good to Very Good.
Our stock number is P-38-40.
Will ship to anywhere in the United States, buyer pays freight and insurance.
