My father had a small collection of arms passed down from his grandfather and father. I told a friend about how my mother had promised them (in the will) to me, and he said "get them now". Apparently he had a relative snag some items that were promised him and now they can't be found. Talked to my mother about it and she said they aren't doing any good sitting in her basement. I feel like a proud new father all over again. So here is one of them...
Springfield Model 1873 Manufactured Oct-Dec 1884
This trapdoor rifle is in pretty good shape. I don't think the gunsmith will find anything wrong with it.
Just have to find some cowboy action 45-70 for this baby and I can try it out.
