*hand wringing intensifies*
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
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
@Lt. Sidehug see image above
come and take it
So uh whose ready for this gov shutdown
Dixie will rise again boys
I'll burn it doen
Down
Inshallah brother death to the spaniards
Any further blasphemy and I will hand feed you to my alligators swamp-man
Never mind they purged out
whooo
