Hey guys, picked up my first trapdoor at a gun show last weekend. I had been wanting one to hunt with for a while and one happened to pop up in my price range. I knew nothing about them but saw a guy who seemed to know what he was doing eyeing this one and made an impulse buy based on his recommendation. This is my first milsurp or gun older than probably 1960 so I am learning a lot.

Best I can tell maybe it is an early 1975 production that was refurbished by Springfield (and not Bannerman) after the recall?

I just ordered the Poyer/Riesch book based on all the recommendations, but any info would be appreciated. I hope I got a decent gun that will shoot, bore seemed pretty good to me and others, but I am very new to this.
