Description:
This Springfield Trapdoor rifle is one with a story. Originally, the barrel was nearly 33" long, but it was cut down to 25", and the forend was cut down to match the original look. While the exact story is unknown, I imagine it was cut down by a soldier for better maneuverability. It might have even been cut down for use in the cavalry, who used 22" rifles. It has an overall length of 45.5", weighs eight pounds, and is chambered in .45-70. There is some slight corrosion on the butt and an overall patina that makes it a great addition to the wall of an office. The bore is is still in great condition. $60 shipping to the lower 48, 3% surcharge for using a credit card. If you choose to pay with a personal check, we will hold the item for up to 10 days to make sure that it clears. Please expedite such payments as we will hold an item on your word for 5 days.
