Beautiful Model 1873 Springfield trapdoor. Really nice condition. I bought this from someone who helped liquidate a well known trapdoor collectors estate. Bore is clean with crisp rifling.
I researched the serial number and found that this rifle was delivered to western Pennsylvania in 1879. I wrote down some other info and will try to find it. Selling it because my collection is going a different direction.
Accessories;
*full set of Lee 45/70 Government dies.
* 20 rounds Of professionally loaded ammo. I believe it is loaded with unique powder and the recipe is specifically for old trapdoors. You could pull these and load with traditional black powder if you like. I could give you enough black powder if you are interested in doing so.
Price was $1200 now $850 cash.
Private message me here.
Must have at least FID for ammo
Located in the Dedham area.
Statement of Legal compliance:
I will comply with all Federal and State Laws. If the firearm is to be shipped, you must provide me with a signed copy of your dealer's FFL (or your 03FFL if this is a Curio and Relic). For private party face-to-face transactions (only permitted by Fed law when both buyer and seller live in same state), I will meet all applicable state and federal laws.
When ammunition, magazines or other regulated items are sold/bought or traded as part of this transaction, I agree to follow all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations pertaining to these items.
