A friend asked me about this Springfield, and I am woefully ignorant when it comes to them so I have to ask. My friend is looking for a fare asking price and realizes that the blockage will diminish value.
Here is the email he sent to me with descriptions and pictures
Ron, here is the pics and info on the Springfield,thanks for you help,Bruce
the barrel is 25 1/2 ",the blockage is 6" from the breech,it is 45-70,i took pics of the markings,on the bottom of the butt there is a P with a circle around it,on the left side a box with 3 letters SWP(maybe) with 1884 under the letters,on each barrel band there is a U,on the barrel there is some markings also
Any help would be greatly appreciated
