CLASSIC INDIAN WARS 1879 SPRINGFIELD TRAPDOOR .45-70 RIFLE, #224XXX, MADE 1883
Description: CLASSIC INDIAN WARS 1879 SPRINGFIELD TRAPDOOR .45-70 RIFLE, #224XXX, MADE 1883. This is a good unaltered example that hasn't been cleaned or messed with. The metal parts are an aged gray/brown patina with excellent lock plate markings and proofs on the barrel. "U.S. MODEL 1873" on the breech block with the usual Springfield markings and eagle on the lock plate. Correct 1879 rear sight with slide and ladder. 1884 style cleaning rod which is probably original as this is a last year production before the Model 1884 style with Buffington sight etc. Unsanded wood is excellent with only a few minor handling/storage marks. No stock cartouches visible. Three click tumbler in the lock and exc. bore with sharp rifling all the way through. Lots of history and life left in this 142 year old Springfield .45-70 U.S. issue rifle! And less expensive than an Italian replica! Price: $1,150.00 Antique: Yes Rifle Caliber: .45-70 Government Manufacturer: SPRINGFIELD Model: 1879 TRAPDOOR Serial Number: 224XXX Condition: VG Bore Condition: EXCELLENT Contact Seller |
