Seller Description For This Firearm
UNITED STATES MODEL SPRINGFIELD 1873 RIFLE, SERIAL NUMBER 196036, ORIGINAL BLUED FINISH, CASE NOT INCLUDED, 28.5" BARREL, CHAMBERED IN 45/70, TRAPDOOR SINGLE SHOT ACTION
Notes:
For sale is an 1885-dated U.S. Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor rifle chambered in .45-70 Government. This rifle features the desirable script inspector's cartouche on the left stock flat, along with the eagle head inspection mark and "P" proof mark. The barrel band is correctly marked with a "U" stamp.
The rifle retains its original Buffington rear sight and correct 28.5-inch barrel. The bore is in very good condition for its age, with strong, well-defined rifling. The wood and metal show typical wear consistent with a military rifle that is over 140 years old, but the rifle remains an attractive and honest example.
Please note that the rifle is missing the bayonet lug and cleaning rod. Aside from these noted issues, it displays well and would make a fine addition to any U.S. military firearms collection.
A solid, collector-grade Springfield Trapdoor with desirable inspection markings, original Buffington sight, and a strong bore.

WARNING
Why Buy from Guns.com?
PEACE OF MIND
Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
