Model 1870 Springfield Trapdoor (Revision 2)

[Entry Level]

Hello, I was looking at this rifle today and have waited to buy while I find out about this rifle. First, the price was 499 US dollars. Looking at reloading parts, brass dies bullets powder and such will add about 300 more dollars. The rifling was shiny not pitted hammer and striking parts looked ok. If someone could help me with what I should look at to find more info. I would appreciate the help. I do shoot a few old milsurps and a 45-70 black powder rifle so the genre is not new to me. It is a nice long barrel 50-70, trap door that looks like it could be fun. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and Merry Christmas
