.45/70 M1877 TRAPDOOR CARBINE BUTT PLATE w/ KEY HOLE CUT OUT:  A M1877 Trapdoor Carbine Butt Plate with the proper Keyhole shaped cut out to accommodate the three piece cleaning rods.  Correct for carbines in the 75,000-155,000 serial number range, these relatively scarce butt plates are difficult to find on the loose.  This specimen is complete with the trap cover, internal parts and spring and all parts move smoothly.  Showing traces of the original arsenal blue, the surface of the metal is overall smooth with a few small patches of minor pitting low on the plate towards the toe.  The “US” is present on the tang. (#3)  $65
