I just inherited a rifle. It was from my great, great grandfather.
Its a US Springfield, 1884, trapdoor, 45-70. Its in rough shape but everything still works as it should and just needs a lot of TLC.
Anyone know where I can find info on these antiques? I can't wait to tear into it and start cleaning but I want to do my homework first.
Can I just email Springfield with serial numbers and markings and them give me the history on this fine weapon?
Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
