FS/FT 1891 Trapdoor 45-70

[DonnieBoi]

Model 1884 Trapdoor manufactures in 1891. Still in good condition aside from patina on metal parts. Bore is very shiny and in good condition.

This is a ramrod bayonet version.

If that gun could talk……

Most of these guns are in such good condition because they were never even fired. Late production guns were never issued because the 30/40 Krag came out. The Trapdoors were kept storage and sold by the CMP in the 1950's. I've read you could buy a rifle and 100 rnds for $15. I have one and LOVE it.

Have you shot it?

Yes I've shot about 40 rounds of standard load 405 BP through it. Shoots well.
