Possible Indian scout rifle??
Found this rifle at the Baltimore show. It's an 1877 produced rifle serial# 81748 with Fort Bowie Team 10 stamped on the butt. Serial# puts this rifle in a range where numerous rifles were sent to Fort Bowie and issued to Indian Scouts. This may have possible been one but it's 5 digits off of 81743. Should there be anyone here with additional information on this serial # I'd be happy to hear about it. It also has what appears to be a home made Bull rear sight?? I believe there was someone here that was making them but not sure who.
Also I finally finished building my 1891 rod bayonet project. I found the last part needed which was a correct complete lock at almost the last table yesterday in Baltimore. Turned out nice and if not knowledgeable on Trap Doors you would never know it was re blued. These pictures would not load on the new bulletin board : (
