Better photos of my 1866 Springfield.

Thanks for sharing Fred. Over the years I have been on this forum, you seem to find some real gems. I believe this is another one. Good for you. I am glad someone is finding them before they get lost to who knows where, never to be seen again.

I'm happy that you like the photos John! I'm going to be using these same photos along with others to show it when I put it up for sale on Gunbroker tomorrow or maybe the next day. If it doesn't sell, then I'll just keep this one a while longer.
I've decided to use the money I get for it, if any, towards getting a second old Single Action Army Colt.

Im still having trouble getting all my photos to focus well. The iPhone camera I use is really sensitive to the slightest movement. However it seems to take OK photos if I can just brace my hand and camera against something steady.

The bore appears to be unused and there is no muzzle wear from the cleaning rod. All I've ever done is to run a piece of cloth down the bore to clear any dust out of it for a photograph.
I'll bet that this rifle would be quite accurate in the hands of an experienced shooter.
