I just wanted to share my Flea Market find for today. It is a Springfield Trapdoor 45-70 rifle model 1873. The good news is I got if for a song... the bad is that I have since spoken to some people and while it was a steal at the price I paid, it isn't worth 1000s because it is a rifle that has been cut down to a carbine. It is also post Custer era so is not really worth much to a collector except for parts.
I am going to try and get an official appraisal next week.
Will be a great shooter though, just have to find some cowboy loads.
