I bought this barrel 40 plus years ago. It was a rifle barrel that had been bent near the muzzle. I cut it to 22 inches and used it to make a hybrid .50-70 trapdoor. The receiver and barrel have been plum browned. The finish was gray and mottled. There is no damage to them and the surfaces are smooth. The bore has some light pitting in some spots but the rifling is strong. I soft soldered a front sight to the barrel without altering the barrel in anyway. The breach block was left as is. It is complete with all parts and works smoothly. The eagle and date are sharp. The rear sight is the complete original model 1868 sight. Asking 200.00, shipping included for the Continental U.S. If truly interested PM email or phone info. and I will send photos.
