However, the rifle was released slowly to the soldiers throughout its tenure. The United Army adopted the Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor Rifle as a standard-issue combat rifle. But, for Model 1873, Allin went back to the drawing board, creating a one-off trapdoor design from machined parts. The Model 1865 retrofitted muskets with the breech-loading trapdoor mechanism, making it capable of firing a paper or linen patched cartridge primed by a percussion cap. The Springfield Model 1865 Trapdoor Rifle was the first of Allin's trapdoor rifle patents. He first introduced this revolutionary design in the Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor Rifle. Consequently, he created a breech-loading design known as the trapdoor. Allin began working on a new design for such a powerful cartridge, the shooter's safety was on his mind.

That is why you see so many sellers on ebay buying complete guns, and stripping them down into individual parts to sell.
If sold as just a parts gun,like on Gun Broker, you are looking at getting probably $200 to $300 plus, or minus for the whole assembly. so depending on your type of butt plate, type of Buffington rear sight, and type, and condition of the wood stock, the gun could still be worth about $1,000 in just parts.
#1873 springfield trapdoor value serial number#
Your receiver is pretty corroded in the serial number area, so that will affect the value downward in both cases.
If it is a cut down rifle unit the price drops down to $75 to $125+ depending on the quality of the work that was done. If the barreled receiver assembly proves to be a true carbine unit, and has a nice shiny bore, with good rifling, it can go for between $200 and $400 plus. This is about $600 minimum in parts so far.Now the tang on the barreled receiver is worth about $30+ if removed properly, if it becomes damaged the price goes down, without a picture of the underside front of the stock, and the butt plate end, I can not estimate a close value of the stock for you, but get me a couple of pic's and I will try. an extractor can go for about $30+, Complete 1884 breech block $80+, saddle bar with ring $125+, plain butt plate $30+,trap type butt plate with oval hole $50+, trap type butt plate with keyhole style $70+, incomplete trigger assembly ( no swivel) $25+, Hinge pin $10+, Buffington rear sight with screws marked R $85+, Marked C $125+, Buffington type barrel band $5 to $15+ (In reality you can almost not give them away, The demand is for the un-notched type barrel band.), band spring $10+, Complete lock, with 1873 date $125+, extractor spring, with pin $15+, Butt plate screws set, $15+, trigger guard screw set $5+. It is all depending on who is looking for what at the time, and the condition of the parts. However, if it can be broken down into parts, and sold on Ebay, you may be surprised at how much it can reap. It would not be to your friends advantage to sugar coat things, or lead him to believe it has any great value, as it is.
