Miscellaneous Trapdoor Rods

Trapdoor Carbine Rod Set

Sold Set of three rods for the Trapdoor carbine. These rods are in nice condition. They thread together nicely. I believe Springfield or RIA reworked the threads and refaced the head for the Sp-Am War. The threads are correctly cut with a lath, but you can see where they have been slightly extended with a die. $195 + S/H. Contact Al Frasca at 937-399-5002 or e-mail him at: afrasca@erinet.com.

Sold One carbine and one rifle barracks cleaning rods available. The carbine rod is very straight. $25 + S/H. Contact Al Frasca at 937-399-5002 or e-mail him at: afrasca@erinet.com.

The upper rod is the M88 rod, the lower rod is the VERY rare M88 Expeerimental rod that fits the first trial guns made in 1888. See pages 218, 219, and 234 in the newsletter.) The rifle has a locking mechanism like the M84 RRB, but the locking mechanism is a little stronger. The three RRB rifles have the following differences in the distance between the inside locking shoulders:
M88RRB Rifle - 2.144" (upper image)
M88RRB Exp Rifle 2.114"(lower image)
M84RRB Rifle 2.062"(not shown)
