Just a joke. The EOTech sight is not attached 🙂

SayUncle was given a 1873 Trapdoor Springfield which belonged to his great grandfather.

Read about it here and the follow up post here.

    I drop in here to check out some of the "off the beaten track" type firearms that you discover lying around.
    I love old guns, and your photo nearly gave me a heart attack when I saw that EOTech sight on that lovely old trapdoor rifle.

    Seconds late, I read the disclaimer, but please don't do that to us old farts again!

    Ambulance rides are not in the budget.
