I bought this trapdoor about 4 months ago. I also bought the JS and Pat Wolf book on the trapdoor (signed by Pat Wolf, 3rd edition). The bore on the rifle is pristine and has been well taken care of. Someone had refinished the stock at some point, so no stamps are visible. It has the Buffington rear sight and ser# of 30011. barrel markings include VP- (looks like an upside down Y)- P. And there is a separate "A". Rifle has the ramrod, but no front sight hood. Looks all original except for rear barrel band, which fits, but doesn't look correct to me. Small spots of rust and light pits on some of the small parts and trigger guard tang. I have approx 20 rounds of BP loads that are loaded per JS Wolf's reccomendations, using 20-1 lead 500 gr bullets. Pics upon request. I have 1K in this rig and that is all I want. This does not require going to an FFL. Thanks
