SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1884 TRAP DOOR CARBINE. SN 450029. Cal. 45-70. Standard 22″ bbl. This little carbine is about as good as one could expect to find.

CONDITION: Bbl receiver retains better than 95% of its orig blue with the only significant loss being on the rear tang. There are misc scratches throughout but none are significant to detract from this carbine. The breech block has unfortunately been cleaned and lost the majority of its case coloring. The hammer and side plate retain some 95% of their orig finish as does the buttplate and trigger guard assembly. The front bbl band shows a couple of minor scratches but no wear. The SWP 1889 cartouche is clear and legible and the stock is in excellent condition with only a couple minor dings just in front of the breech. Mechanics are crisp, bore shows new.
