High arch breech block dated "1870" over an eagle head, crossed arrows, and "US". Standard "1863" dated Springfield musket lock with 2-click tumbler. Walnut carbine stock mounted with a single barrel band without stacking swivel, saddle ring bar, 2-piece trigger guard, and "US" marked butt plate. CONDITION: Good.

Bright and strong bore with well defined rifling and some light cleaned oxidation spots. Crisp mechanics. A very hard to find trapdoor carbine.
