U.S. Model 1888 Trapdoor Rifle by Springfield Armory
serial #512645, 45-70 Govt., 32 5/8'' barrel with a near excellent bore showing strong rifling with some fine pits and oxidation. The metal surfaces have toned to brown patina with the occasional small scratch and carry mark. The lockplate and buttplate are more of a mottled gray and brown with some oxidation and light pitting on the buttplate. The markings remain crisp and legible. The walnut stock remains in very good plus condition with scattered dents, handling marks, a 1'' shallow bruise in the left wrist above the triggerguard and crisp 1891-dated cartouche and circle ''P'' firing proof. The rifle is equipped with a standard front sight, Buffington rear sight, bronze firing pin, and ramrod bayonet. A very good example of the last of the Trapdoor Springfields. (5A11754-2) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)
