SRS on a 1873 Trapdoor and a Question

[robh5]

Hi,
Could someone do an SRS check on serial number 46386.
Also were the rear sights riveted in place instead of using screws on the 1873's?

Thanks.

No SRS on your number. Not rivets but slotless screws installed and removed with a special collet type tool. First sights with slotted screws beyond a few target arms were the 1884 rifles and carbines with Buffington sights.

Thanks for the info.
