Springfield model 1873 carbine

[SNBI]

So I got a hold of my great grandfathers army rifle and am thinking about restoring it, if possible to firing condition. And tips or threads I should be looking at or any other helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Will upload pics when I have them.
