Ok, so I'm looking for some expert opinions on this one. I recently acquired a 1884 trapdoor. The serial number is way off for that model. In some basic research I know some guns were off as the were trying out different designs? It's says model 1884, but the serial number is just over 97,000. Does anyone have any ideas what it may be? Is it a pieced together gun by someone trying to make a complete rifle? It's in pretty good shape for the age.
