Standard grade rifle with 24-1/4″ rnd bbl, half magazine, half nickel front sight & semi-buckhorn rear sight.

Lever, hammer & magazine plug retain virtually all of their crisp, brilliant orig case colors. Buttplate retains virtually all of its orig case colors, lightly to moderately faded. Wood is exceptionally fine with a few very light scratches on the left side of buttstock, a couple of small nicks on the right side and overall retains virtually all of its crisp, orig bright factory finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. Appears to be new & unfired. 4-48458 JR227 (8,000-12,000)
