No clip guide for the U.S. .45-70 Trapdoor Springfield at the moment
Almost everything here is one of a kind, so it turns over item by item rather than in runs. A wanted listing is the reliable way to hear when the right one surfaces — and it is also what tells Butch which parts are worth making next.
