A Springfield 1873 45/70 trapdoor door carbine and S/W late 1880 single action black powder 38. I actually sold the Springfield last year and the S/W I've given to my nephew to inherite.[Linked Image][Linked Image][Linked Image][Linked Image]


I didnt get this old or come this far by backing up, ok I'll give an inch when needed but no more. I like rule number 308.

That Trapdoor Carbine is a nice piece of history same goes for the S&W up

Thank you, my apologies for the bad pics on my first attempt, was trying to delete or edit them, but gave up. Hopefully next time.

That S&W looks to be in shootable condition.
I have one just like it only in wallhanger shape.
Thought mine was a S&W model 1 1/2.

Yes sir, it is a Model 1 forgot important detail, it is does shoot great with a lot of smoke and fun, found ammo with a lead bullitt for it at Buffalo Arms, bought 100 rounds. In the old cowboy days, I'm told it fit perfect in your inside coat pocket, sitting in a saloon playing poker.
