1884 Springfield 45-70
My friend got a rifle from her fathers estate. It is marked US 1864 and Springfield and has at least most of its serial number intact. It has what looks like its original bayonet. I believe it is an earlier model converted to a breech loader in 1864. If anyone is an expert, I can send pics. Is anyone an expert on civil war rifles???
