[QUOTE="M91196, post: 16217731, member: 168741"] The effort to reuse the millions of muskets started with the larger calibers, .58 rim fire being the first trapdoor. That cartridge was a failure and the trapdoor design refined to use the easier to extract and more powerful 50-70. They only were in service from 1866-1873 when they adopted the .45-70. That caliber hung around in the various trapdoors seen at the little big horn in their desirable carbine configuration until the Krag was adopted in 1892. All dates are from recollection... Mine is an 1870 model with 12,000 built but they don’t have an awesome value, maybe a couple thousand? All the support equipment and cartridge boxes would be the real valuable stuff. Sorry for the derailment [/QUOTE]
