I have came into possession of a very old and vintage Springfield Trapdoor carbine in 45-70 but with no sights and a smooth bore. This is the first one like this I have ever seen. Can anybody shed some light on this. Thanks.

I'm no Springfield trapdoor expert but I have seen this video below where you could shoot .410 shells out of a 45-70.
(at least it's possible to shoot though it might not be great for your gun)
