FOR SALE, HARRINGTON AND RICHARDSON INC. .45-70 SPRINGFIELD CAVALRY RIFLE.
Model 1873 Springfield Cavalry Harrington and Richardson Inc .45 – 70 Trap Door Action Rifle. All stamped up as such, along with Gardner, Mass. Made in The USA detailed to the 22” (560mm) Barrel. A Stock / Trigger Pull of 13 1/8” (335mm) and Overall length at 41 ¼” (1047mm). Scales tip 7 Lb 5 oz (3.32 Kg).
This rifle came in over a decade ago and I basically forgot about it! I only happened to see another that reminded me it was here. Remembering it was tucked away in a show cabinet at the back of 7 others rifles.
ALWAYS RARE and difficult to locate. From memory I ‘found’ this for a waste of time ‘customer’ who then promptly stopped replying. Hence why it ended up ‘tucked away’.
Obviously, a Single Shot, Breech Loading and fitted with its correct Cavalry Band Sling Point. Also, a Flip Up / Down LONG Range Fully Adjustable Peep / Target Sight.
Blacked Action, Barrel and other Metal Work all in just about as new condition. For Contrast the Flush Inlet Steel Butt Plate is finished with Colour Case Hardening, running Yellow through to Blue. A couple of small vignettes of Scroll Engraving to compliment the Fully Patterned Side Lock Plate.
Two Safety positions rendering the trigger inoperative. Not entirely sure why but NO DOUBT anyone looking / interested will have the answer. It cocks at circa an 1/8th of travel and again at half. AT neither position does the trigger / hammer fall. Only when FULLY cocked does it release.
A Very Nicely Decorative Stock of Rich Deep Walnut with Good Swirl Pattern. That all feeds nicely into a Strong Straight Grain right through the grip.
