.45-70 caliber, 22" barrel with single barrel band, S/N 281981 . Blued and color case hardened finish, smooth walnut stock. Standard Springfield trapdoor lock markings, 1884 breech block markings, standard barrel proofs. Clear SWP/1889 cartouche opposite lock and clear [circle]- P proof behind triggerguard. Low arch breech, 3-click tumbler, grooved trigger. Buffington rear sight marked " XC " for use on the 1886 Experimental Carbine, pinned blade front sight, sling bar and ring, trapdoor in butt with no accessories. An interesting composite Trapdoor carbine with a receiver numbered at the very end of the M1879 range/beginning of the M1884 range, but certainly too early for an 1889 cartouche and with a rare XC marked sight.
