Alright boys, there's a genuine trapdoor Springfield for sale at my LGS. They're willing to drop the price to $1000 for me

Do I take it? It's a rifle, not a carbine

Hmm

45-70

I mean I'd say shoot it

Go for it

Condition is better than most 100+ y/o rifles but the pitting worries me

How bad is it

Pretty bad. All along the barrel

Didn't get a chance to peek at the rifling but the crowning definitely doesn't look too good

Ehhhhh

i wouldnt pay $1K for that IMHO

I was thinking $800 or less

Maybe even $600

Yeah

That’s a lot of money

I suspect it may have lived its life in dixie, given the humidity

Though that's only speculation

@Runes if it were a carbine I wouldn't even consider it

But since it's a service rifle my interest is piqued

Still has a cleaning rod and the sights are in perfect shape, which tells me it was stored improperly

May have occasionally been used as a durr gun
