Good eye Mcshooty.

It's a Springfield Armory US Navy model 1870 in 50/70. Great bore and finished in the bright. As it was made at Sprinfield Armory circa the Trapdoor 1870 above it, I thought that it might be nice to add to the other Springfields. It has the same rear sight as the Trapdoor 1870.

It is pretty much a mirror image of the Remington Rolling Block other than the military stock and I'm sure the US Government must have paid royalties to Remington to produce it.
