Can somebody please check on trapdoors:

I have had one hit in my life so I have probably reached my quota.
Thanks you very much for your help!

I'm still looking 🤪
Your answer is---------- You only get one and you have it already.
😜

I have had one. June 17 1876! WOW with Crook on the Rosebud. NO Guard at Fort Buford D.T. Tripped on the guardhouse steps and broke rifle stock. So after convening board of officers from various posts it was ruled he did not have to pay the 3.13 for the stock as it was dark and he was wearing a mosquito net on guard duty.
Cool stories and I enjoyed them. Can anybody look mine up since Dick proves I'm not limited to one?
My hit was a 1903 Springfield that was sent from Pearl Harbor back to Springfield for rebuild in late 1941 (but before 12/7). It had an SA 42 barrel on it when I got it so that explains the barrel.

Sorry, no cigars. In fact, you're pretty much in black holes on all of them - nothing close to any.
Thank you very much Dick. I never surprised by that answer. They are all marginal examples but they would be worth fixing up if they had history.
Dick, since this post is on SRS these books are listed on Mc Pheeters. Just wondering if these are the books you have?
Thanks
