Thanks for the reply, I seen one on youtube with the so called set trigger screw (and had a screw) I was the one that told you about that one on youtube but the sn could not be made out. Have you...

These are three early model 1873 carbines all appear to have been captured by native Americans. The first one was sold at auction as a Indian captured 7th cavalry carbine sn 21577.

The second one...

Just a couple of unfinished model 1873 sight slides marked with C for condemned, Interesting they even marked the smallest of parts.

20800 Told you about this one on trapdoor collector site and sent you a few pictures few weeks back. Looks like someone took a wire brush to the exposed metal part's, see some patina on edge of...

Early 1873 carbine with m41 Mississippi forend attached with leather and brass bands, a piece of metal is missing on bottom that seemed to connect the two pieces along with the leather rope. Indian...

Hi i was looking at sn number 537365 would anyone have any info on this number any help gladly appreciated thank you.

Looks good to me. i would still hold on to the hammer since i strongly believe it was originally to the rifle and put on there when first assembled at SA. Yes the band was ground down.

I believe the hammer installed on there is original, just had the top ground down for what ever reason my guess to avoid snagging. picture of muzzle would help but all looks original from pictures...

There was a lot of gunsmiths back in the 19th century that would of used mainspring vises so my guess would be something made up by an experienced gunsmith of the time, or possibly from a foreign...

Thanks for all the info. Yes and the 71st New York was a national guard unit.

Hi, Any info on this number 537365? It is marked above butt plate on comb with 71 H 72 From reading on here I know those are rack, company and unit numbers but what order would they go in? any help...

Now that i really looked at my tool I see the punch goes all the way to bottom of tumbler, Always thought it was the hump that pin sticks out of is what pushed the tumbler out since it fits perfect....

I believe the pin is used to knock loose a broken stuck bridle stud from the hole on lock plate, and from what I read to remove the barrel band springs. I do not think that is a "c stamp" just a...

In regards to post #28 You are exactly correct, But we have to go by what the owner of rifle says since it is in his hands and he could be correct about not being fully drilled for the rods. He seems...

The correct cleaning rod when all three rods are attached 22" the same length as the barrel. So each rod is a little over 7". The rod you need was specifically made at the Springfield armory for the...

That is not the correct cleaning rod for that rifle, even though it may work on getting it clean don't mean it was made for the above rifle.

The barrel was definitely replaced as it should not have the vp proof marks. Breech block may have been replaced also with a correct one of that period. Can you remove the butt plate to check if...

I always figured that if a earlier rifle was upgraded with the buffington sights it was now considered a m84, My guess is since yours was never updated it is still considered a m73 and probably would...

This was found about 35 years ago by my father, there was a hand written letter to it also but may be long gone. I have seen civil war tintype photos but never ww1 and i can not find any info on...

What I find interesting about the carbine is that I have seen another in the 87000 range with same upgrades on the ima wed site, my guess is a bunch were left in storage maybe until the 1890's.

This one must of got over looked or something was wrong with it, Its an early 77 carbine with upgrades.
