1864 Trapdoor barrel
Today at 1:15am
Print Post  
I recently acquired an early trap door conversion of a CW musket, lock dated Springfield 1864.The 19" barrel shows some tool marks and the witness marks are slightly misaligned. Curiously it bears Belgian proof marks. If it's a replacement, it's OLD. It's a 45-70, not 50-70, so is it a Model 1868? It has the spring-driven extractor(the spring is broken). Comments?

The caliber didn't affect the model but the 68s were 50-70. If the trap is hinged to the barrel it is not an 1868. The 1868s were not CW conversions. Do I have that correctly? If the trap is hinged to the barrel I would not personally shoot a 45-70 in it.
