*PRE-WWII WINCHESTER MODEL 94 SADDLE RING CARBINE.

SN 820414. Cal. 32-40. Standard grade carbine with 20″ bbl, full magazine, square base front sight & 2000 yard carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of receiver has a stud & ring. Mounted with nicely figured gum wood stock & forearm with straight grip & carbine buttplate. Gum wood is one of Colt’s experiments with wood other than walnut. Although there were quite a number of carbines produced with gum wood stock & forearm it apparently was not enthusiastically received by the buying public and ultimately discontinued. Gum wood is somewhat more soft and lighter than walnut and therefore much more easily damaged. Those arms fitted with gum wood are usually found with only fair condition wood. PROVENANCE: Tommy Rholes Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain 97-98% strong orig blue with a couple small spots of surface rust; receiver retains 50-60% orig blue with the loss areas flaked, not worn, to a medium/dark patina; right side of receiver has two to three small scratches and shows very fine sharp edge wear; wood is sound with a few small nicks & dings and retains a dark walnut stained finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore; appears to be new & unfired. Bolt face retains virtually all of its orig factory blue and loading gate about all of its orig fire blue. 4-50522 JR318 (2,500-4,000) – Lot 1080

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2014

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
