Just bought my first Model 1873 Springfield trapdoor rifle. According to a little research, it appears it was manufactured in 1876.
My question was, how would one determine the difference in a cadet model as opposed to a regular infantry rifle? As I said, this is my first TD, and can already tell there's a ton to learn about these great old war horses!
