I would like to purchase an original barrel for an 1873 Trapdoor carbine. The bore has to be decent enough to shoot. Anybody got on they don't need?
Thanks

Carbine barrels are hard to come by. Rifle barrels are fairly common and if properly done it would be hard to tell the difference. If you have the original it can be lined.
There are any number of on-line places that list trapdoor parts, a search may turn up exactly what you want.
Good luck.
BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
