1. I have read and accept the classified system rules and terms of service.

For sale is an 1888 ram rod bayonet trapdoor rifle in 45-70. This rifle is in overall excellent shape with a bright and crisp bore. The exterior metal surfaces have turned "plumb" due to age and the linseed oil stock has darkened as well. The rifle is free from rust, pitting or damage. I have test fired this rifle to confirm fuction and accuracy. This rifle will make an excellent shooter.

I would love to have this but never will, I would be too paranoid about sticking one of heavyweight .45-70 rounds in it.

Back when I owned both a Ruger no.1 in .45-70 and a Trapdoor....
I would mark the primer end of "Modern" loads / Ruger loads with a red sharpie pen...just to keep 'em from being mixed up .
Just a thought here.....
