Sorry, no images.

If I can recall from memory a gun smith showed me what I thought would be a Springfield Trapdoor dated 1864(?). However, it had a .58 musket barrel on it and was now a percussion. Possibly a shot gun?

Could this be a 1861 musket? I believe that date on the action was 1864 but I may be wrong. If the Smith still has posession of the rifle I may be able to get images. The seller want $400.00.

The front sight looks like a piece of heavy wire soldered on. I believe the rear sight is correct. The stock has been cracked but super glued by the tang(?)Also, the stock has the wood grain raised and I have never seen that before.
