The weather is bad today the Sherrif called for a level 3 alert (no travel unless necessary) The rain and ice has now changed to snow. I will probably have to go to work tomorrow. Hope your weather is better.

I'm going to add a picture of the sideplate of the 45-70 to My Toys Album.
The trigger, sling hook, and side plate looks alot like your flintlock.

Good Morning Ricbak
There arn't any dates on the 45-70 but it has US Springfield on the side plate and a number behind the trap door 560614.
My Dad found it in a hollow tree while he was traping when he was a boy 70+ years ago.
I'm not sure if it was a cabine or someone cut the barrel off shorter and stuck a piece of copper in a hole for a front sight.
Take Care

I'm going to send you a friend request. I see 4 out of 5 of your Groups are the same as mine. Veterans and Guns, Hunting XD Owners, and Rugers.
Take Care
