Thank you. When I look up "model 1883 Springfield Trapdoor", I don't get many results, and a lot of websites that I have looked at seem to even skip that year. Were these rifles made in 1883? Im wondering if the stamp was just done in a way that it looks like 1883. I also looked up the SN, and the chart I looked at puts it around 1873...?
