1884 trapdoor rifle

[mtt73]

looking for a gunsmith in SEPA to do a full restoration on this gun... the gun is in over all good condition, but I am looking to have have the breechlock replaced, a protective coating put over all metal parts and the barrel inspected to make sure it is safe to shoot.

Thanks guys!

The best and most reasonable priced gunsmith in the area is:
Charlie Fosnocht in Douglasville, PA. Just off RT422
His number is 610-310-7526

His work is excellent.

I forgot to mention.,

Of course you realize that any work you do on the rifle will ruin it's collector value and you'll lose money in the end.

If you want to shoot a trapdoor, sell this one and buy the H&R replica.
Its a shame to ruin a true trapdoor.
