What's your next milsurp?

I'd like to get a trapdoor Springfield, in .45-70.
Is that still considered a "milsurp" when such guns were sold-off as "surplus" over 100 years ago?
Or have they crossed over into the same "collectible" category as other old and valuable guns?

My dad's buddy had an old milsurp Trapdoor back in the 1930s. The firing pin broke and they made a new one out of a nail.

Good question. The trapdoor specialists will be by shortly!
 
Oh my don't go looking on the James River Armory website at their New Rockola M14's...HOLY SMOKES...

Mine is built from a Rockola Receiver (when they used to sell just bare receivers), it is all USGI parts and has been Worked over by Hook Boutin from Buchanan Ga.
