SPECIAL ORDER WINCHESTER MODEL 1876 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 30844. Cal. .45-60. Standard grade rifle with special order 26″ oct bbl, full magazine, half nickel front sight & 1876 marked ladder rear sight. Mounted with uncheckered, straight grain American walnut with straight stock & crescent buttplate. This rifle was produced in about 1882 when using a firearm on a daily basis was a way of life, for both hunting & protection. Arms of that era usually saw very hard service, most often with little or no maintenance and seldom are found today with any orig finish. A special order rifle such as this is a rare find. PROVENANCE: The Estate Collection of Phil A. Bleakney, Jr. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain about 90-92% strong orig blue with fine surface etching on the bbl and light sharp edge wear. Receiver retains about 95% orig blue with fine surface etching and light sharp edge wear, all mixed with some light flaking. Lever & hammer retain faded case colors. Buttplate is a dark patina. Wood is sound with a few light scrapes on each side of buttstock and overall retains a hand worn orig oil finish. Mechanics are fine. Brilliant shiny bore shows very little use, just poor storage on the outside. 49059-22 JR (5,000-8,000) – Lot 3053
