Got me a Trapdoor!

[Teleoceras]

As the subject line says, I had bought a Pedersoli Trapdoor Springfield Rifle (New in Box) at an auction at Gunbroker.com. ;D

Pictures of Loviatar (Yep, that is her name) can be found at gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=31745566

I'll let ya know how she is when I get her!

Hmmm...Now I'm going to have to get some reloading supplies.

Welcome to the club. I know how you feel, I just picked up an original 1888 two weeks ago. I would really like to get ahold of a Pedersoli Sharps Silhouette rifle. They sure look nice. After you shoot it, let us know how you made out. Good luck.

I finally got Loviatar today. Woowhee but she is a beauty! I can honestly say that I am going to enjoy this gun! ;D

As for the reloading, I have everything in place except for the bullets. I figured on 405gr since they were used in the 1873 loads.
