Trapdoor Springfield
What would an original trapdoor Springfield in the original crate and unfired be worth?
No, I don't have it, got a look with the top off the crate some 35 years ago at an acquaintance's home. As I recall it was in the white. He said the hammer had never fallen on the firing pin. That is about all I know about the rifle. It wasn't a carbine.
"You can build a man a fire and keep him warm for a couple hours or douse him with fuel oil and keep him warm the rest of his life"

Was looking at one in a gun shop today, rifle, not a conversion. Case coloring faded completely, barrel bluing about 90%, bore bright with sharp lands and minimal pitting. Wood looks to have been sanded, no visible cartouches on a brief look.
He was asking $1000, thinking he may take less. What's it worth?
Also had an 1851 Remington conversion with Maynard (tape)lock. $1800. Bore looked bright at the muzzle.0 -
