The description from the seller is as follows: 623 Gemmer-Springfield trapdoor rifle in 40-65 caliber built on 1869 marked black powder only action with new octagon 40-65 barrel by Kelly. AAA grade Bridger Hawken style stock with iron furniture and silver trim. POR
I have gotten a bunch of feedback and feel that the trapdoor is not really going to do it. It is also a bunch of money. I think I am going to pick up a Pedersoli Gibbs ML first and start the the hunt for a BPCR after the first of the year.
I would kind of like to compete just for fun and your suggestions about what rifle, caliber etc would be appreciated. Before being poor, I have owned a C Sharps in 45-90, a couple Browning's both 45-70 and a couple of others as well. When the economy and the mortgage business went south, so did just about everything I own.
....and no I didn't cause the mortgage meltdown
