Hello friends and neighbors // I lucked into this for $250 at a local gun store. Even a butchered Buffington sighted rifle is a dream come true for me, my first .45-70. Any info is appreciated, even if you say it is a Bannock.
Pics first,,, I just spent 30 min typing about the .45-70 only to have a broadban error LOL. So pics in the first post then additional info in short posts.
Rifle(cutdown),serial#562659,US Model 1884 at top of breech lock,bore
All I can find missing is the main spring, Dixie guns parts had one for $15.00, it is on the way.
Rifle disassembled, mainspring missing
Does anyone see something else missing?
