springfield trapdoor rifle
- Thread starter flashG
- Start date
- Location
- West coast of Vancouver Island
An overall view - both sides, breech area - both sides and all cartouches or maker's marks.
Been collecting and studying about the trapdoor Springfield since the late 1970's.
All I need is a serial number and I can tell you essentially what the gun will look like and will check it against the serial number data I have access to.
Since there were primarily rifles built in 1889, there were also a few Cadet rifles assembled at that time as well...most of the rifles were of the ramrod bayonet variation. A barrel length measured from the breech block hinge pin to the muzzle will help as well.
Cheers
PM me if you would like!!
