Trapdoor Rifles

Hello all,
and Uberti did not make it Uberti suggested it was made in the US. I have included pics and can supply more. It appears to be well made.

Don't understand your question? What does Uberti have to do with anything? An overall picture of the arm would be of immeasurable value. The details you show all look to be completely genuine Springfield Armory markings, but could be from a number of diffeent models.

Here is the overall picture Uberti makes a simmular one but there out of the picture. Could only post so many pictures and had to wait for approval and what not.

Looks OK to me . . .
Buffington rear sight
Front sight cover???
Case colors look good on the tang and breechblock
Serial #357975? (Dark picture)
What’s your question?

Since it was sold as a Replica I guess the question would be is it a reproduction or is it a real Springfield

Here are some more pictures.
Thank you for your replies

Ha, it looks real to me.
Who sold it to you as a reproduction?

Looks real to me also . . .
You might be interested to know, the serial was struck in the first quarter (Jan.-Mar.) of 1887 . . . one of 9,702 rifles that quarter.

Wonder if the seller has any more “reproductions” for sale!

I'm with you there Jim!! I'll take one of those reproductions any day

That's very interesting and unexpected. I say that because the bore is pristine not sure if it's even been fired altho it probably has just cleaned well. Visiting my dad one day he had just picked it up from a dealer as a replica then decided he didn't want it so he gave it to me. It will fit in well with some of my other ones.
