Free Book Drawing: "The .45-70 Springfield" (Trapdoor)

Post by Old No7 »

Here you go, a free gift to the forum! As a "thanks" for all I've learned here.

Just post here if you want a free chance at this book, and on or about April 1st, I'll randomly select a winner and will mail this out to them next week.

Details on the book are below...

Good luck!

Old No7

My "Trapdoor Springfield" is a Uberti replica, so although I really enjoyed reading this book, I'd like to pass it along to someone who wants to know all about the originals. The level of details in this book is amazing!

"The .45-70 Springfield"
by Joe Poyer and Craig Riesch

"This 5th revised and expanded edition provides a part-by-part review of all models of the Springfield .45-70 Trapdoor rifle, carbine and cadet rifle. Three new chapters have been added to this edition: Officer's Model Rifles, Experimental (26-inch) Carbine, and Fencing Muskets.

Every part from buttplate to front sight of every model is discussed in terms of dimensions, use, markings, finish and changes to that part by serial number range. A new serial number list is included with serial number ranges listed by production years. This new list includes serial numbers not previously included by other authors.

This book makes it possible for the collector to determine whether or not a particular rifle, carbine or cadet rifle is original as manufactured."

Very nice of you!


Don't know how you're planning the draw, but I did a giveaway on another board. One of the mods told me that people had been using a random number generator that's available online. Worked great!

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?
