If anyone has Trapdoor Springfield 11801, I’d like to buy it for what you’d like for it.

I don't have that serial # Fred but may I ask why you're looking for that particular rifle?

It had a replacement stock with a short wrist and was my first trapdoor.
It also had a Five groove bore.
The barrel Did have the eagle head and P proof stamps on it.
