Trapdoor Rifles

Still no takers?

Glad he is OK and wow I cannot belive someone had a loaded rifle at a gunshot. This is why don't shoot at public ranges or go to large gatherings anymore

The berdan also comes with brass

Looking for a run of the mill 1879 carbine. Have some rifle to trade.

1866 trapdoor
1872 snider short rifle
French gras with brass
Russian berdan 2

The cost of work isnt worth the vale of the rifle.Not wise

Having success in recreating an accirate load for my 1884 with Wolf's book, I was curious if there would be any benefit to trying out Lee's 500g 45 70 bullet that is a Spitzer style vs a round nose. Have any members here tried those bullets and seen a difference?

No interest is sending through the mail? I'd be happy to send any pictures/ measurements you like.

Wa state

A little late but happy holidays and glad your all here. At 31, I hope to take this information and enjoy trapdoors with my children.

The results look really good
