Yes, it's an 1884 .45-70. I think the trapdoor is a sleeper in today's market. Wonderful examples abound for under a k. You must handload imo, but easy peasy and about as inexpensive as you can get.
I've been around the horn a bit on surplus rifles. Starting in the mid 80's during the second big wave, and then again during the third wave late 90's. Sadly I think the "waves" are history.
I've owned;
Enfield SMLE's and No. 4's, Mosins, Mausers German, Czech, Swedish, M95 mannlicher, 1903...
Trijicon Credo 2-10x36 first focal plane riflescope.

No one has mentioned the expiration of the awb in (`94-`04). During those 10 years if you could only have 10 rounds in the same size gun, .40 made more sense than 9. A positive aspect imo during the ban was the resurgence of the 1911 in .45 for the same reasons, limited capacity.
With mag bans...
I wouldn't buy anything with a lightened aluminum slide. Go get an all metal Browning Buckmark or a Ruger Mark whatever. Neither are ammo finicky. They will last forever and make you both better shooters.
I have 2k Winchester small pistol primers I’d like to trade straight up for 2k Winchester Large Rifle or Large Rifle Magnum primers. Location Crestview.
Now is not a great time to start reloading….but there’s never a bad time. Get a cheap press and a scale. Pick a couple calibers and get dies. Save your brass and when powder and primers are a “fair” deal, buy! Bullets almost always available.
