WITHDRAWN Drop In .45 ML Barrel for 1873 Trapdoor

[BigSkyRambler]

This was Hopkins and Allen's answer for making it easy to get into muzzleloading in the late 60s. It is a perfectly contoured muzzleloading barrel that drops in to a 1873 Springfield trapdoor stock. Change out hammers and you have a .45 muzzleloading rifle. The metal is probably 95%+. Has a Williams rear peep and ramp front sights. Bore bright and shiny. 1:66ish twist. Comes with percussion hammer that fits on existing lock. Unique and scarce. $300 + Shipping.

I remember these.

I will soon have a cut-down trapdoor stock and lock I can package with this.

That barrel is a drop-in for a 63 Springfield and will work in an 1861 also if you use the 63 hammer (originals, not repros).

No. It drops into a trapdoor stock. That is how I got it, along with the original TD barreled receiver and hammer. Barrel profile too small for the rifled muskets.
