Trapdoor Rifles

Pretty decent looking '84! You would have to look for awhile to find a better one.

Thanks Guys,
I'm trying to help out the LGS guy, as he doesn't do the internet thing.
It's a really clean rifle, I'll take pictures Monday, but don't think I can post them.
Might have to email them to someone, and have them post pics for me.

There were 19 more rifles just like it in their case that was sold off to someone, possibly in the 1940’s or 1950’s.
Unissued and mint.

BUT, you know that Major Tom just sold one only a bit nicer for $3200 at Simpsons? IF I were still buying, I'd probably have given you $1200. The guys at Allentown are probably jaded.

I thought my 84 was decent but yours is fanatics. Anyway hang in there remember 1903's and M1 Carbines I can remember seeing them muzzle down in large wooden barrels in backwoods gun shops for 15 to 25 dollars Those days are gone,

I seen that it sold but didn't know how much it sold for. I figured mine is worth between 1500.00 to maybe 1900.00 which is why I was asking for 1200.00. I would make a couple dollars and if purchased by a vendor they would make a couple bucks. But no sale was made so now it's back in the rack.

Thanks Kenneth, it is a nice one.
I have another with the same date which is nicer. Don't really need 2 with the same date but since I don't need to sell it, it is now back in the rack

I recently sold my M84 rifle with original bayonet and scabbard and sling for $3200 at Simpsons in Galesburg, Ill. It was pristine!! Dick Hosmer has a similar one to mine with close serial numbers. I bought it years ago from Al Frasca's old website for $1400. I hated to sell the old girl, but who ever bought it I know will treat it well.
