Item Description: Translate description
Very nice looking example of an original US Trapdoor Cadet with 29.5 inch barrel. According to the serial number it was made in 1889 or 1890. IT DOES HOWEVER HAVE A SMALL BULGE IN THE BARREL UNDER THE FRONT SIGHT. It is very small and not hard to miss. There is excellent military blue finish on the metal of the barrel and receiver. The stock is original and in excellent condition and has very fine correct finish. There is a partly visible cartouche on the left side. The 1884 marked breech block has excellent color and an original correct bronze firing pin. The sights are 1884 pattern. The lock works strongly and is the correct pattern with US Springfield, Eagle, and no 1873 date. There is an original correct length rod with the rifle. Mechanically the rifle works very well and has an excellent sharply rifled barrel except for the bulge and small ring at the end. It might be possible to return this rifle to shooting condition by having the barrel counter sunk about 3 inches taking it past the bulge. That would however be a question for a gun smith to answer.
