Featured in this lot is an Early Model 1884 Springfield .45-70 caliber carbine length rifle. This is a fine early carbine made in 1889. It also has the Model 1884 Buffington ladder rear sight that is adjustable for windage and long range elevation with either the “peep” aperture or “V” notch for sighting. This is a true U.S. issued carbine made for the Indian Wars. The uncleaned, naturally aged metal has a smooth dark aged blue patina and shows no evidence of abuse. This carbine has the early "U.S. MODEL 1884” marked breech block (this was the year of introduction for the Trapdoor Springfield in .45-70 caliber), with the correct “U.S. SPRINGFIELD” marked lock plate and eagle motif. This rifle features excellent mechanics and very good bore, displaying good rifling. The walnut stock displays typical weathering from long outdoor use, with some normal shrinking from age; overall, it is a very fine Indian Wars cavalry Trapdoor Carbine. This is a fine, uncleaned, attic-condition, attractive example with wonderful Western Indian Wars history. Serial Number: 163293. This firearm qualifies as an Antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
