I have a Trapdoor carbine that has been sitting in my safe for awhile. I purchased it from a friend several years ago as a favor. Now I am wondering if I should sell it or keep it. I am into 1903's and M1 carbines so my knowledge of the Trapdoors is very limited.
The serial number is #137647, I don't know if there are any hits on SRS for this carbine.
It appears to be all original. When I first received the carbine it was covered in a light film of surface rust. I soaked it in kroil and let it soak for a couple of days and then take a cloth and rub, repeating this process several times. It now has a nice patina to it and still retains 70-80% of the bluing.
It has the stuck case remover with the rod in the buttstock. There is a 001 or 100 cartouche on the R side of the buttstock.
It has the Buffington rear sight marked with the C. The stock is not a cut down stock.
What might something like this be worth?
