Trapdoor Rifles

I did watch a midway larry potterfield video on the navy rolling block 50/45 and it's apparently 3/10's of an inch shorter case than the 50/70. It might even have been rechambered for 50/70 as apparently alot were later on. I dont think my friend ever shot it so it may very well be.He is in his late...

The barrel is serialed 4365 . Buttstock is lighter colored than forestock with sling swivel. Band on forestock has sling swivel . From the pics he sent me on the phone looks like a brass spanner screw of some sort - no disc though on r/s of butt. He said he it looked like it was made from parts. def...

My old freind is parting with two more pieces of which I will buy. First is a well travelled trapdoor carbine. Second is a Rolling block navy marked carbine. The RB he feels has had the butt replaced and for sure has been blued by someone. Navy anchor on barrel w/serial but no receiver markings. It'...

I can use the nuts off the one I have dick. Would you want my slingloopless bow ....hate to pitch it. Any interest in the old sight base with spanner screw , base and the basic notch sight on it.

Just got home and assembled my formerly argentine 43 spanish rolling block now in 50/70 thanks to Bob Hoyt's stellar work. It shot fantastic. Am very happy and cant wait to see what it can really do. Bob charged $200 + shipping ( $28). So it's very well worth it to have a 50/70 rolling block with fl...

The last 50/70 trapdoor rod set me back $95. Cant imagine a triggerguard with sling loop that expensive.
