An Allen & Thurber Pepperbox .31 caliber with an 1858 patent date. I have worked on this one a lot, but have not shot it.

This is an 1873 Springfield Trapdoor .45-70 with bayonet and frog. The stock cartouche says 1884. It is a shooter, but only with black powder cartridges.

This is an 1884 Springfield Trapdoor in .45-70, but a previous owner cut it down, I believe. Don't know for sure, it could be a cadet or officer's model if I'm lucky. Its a shooter with BP cartridges:

Finally, here is a Winchester Hotchkiss Model 1883, that dates to about 1898, in .45-70. Also a shooter, but also only with black powder cartridges. Very accurate!
