Harrison & Richardson produced a series of 1873 Springfield Trapdoor replicas from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. They are very high quality and American-made. The saddle ring carbine has a walnut stock, 22" round barrel, 7 lbs, and 41" long. I replaced the modern sight with an original 1873 carbine ladder sight. It would be a great addition for cowboy shooting or an accompanying piece for a 45-70 lever action, which has become very popular. The gun is in excellent condition. Uberti currently makes the same gun, which lists for $1750.00
