RARE DELUXE BULLARD LEVER ACTION RIFLE. Cal. 45-70. SN 1015. Beautiful special order rifle with 28-1/8” oct bbl, full magazine, half nickel front sight & short semi-buckhorn rear sight. It has caliber marking over receiver ring & late company markings on left side of receiver with serial number back of hammer slot. Serial number is also found inside tips of top & bottom tangs under the wood. Stock has the number “1039” on face under wood indicating a replacement stock with factory wood. Buttstock also has a homemade replacement tiger striped maple buttstock stained a dark red. Although deluxe Bullards were offered, apparently few were ordered and very few of those survive with any condition. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching except buttstock, as noted. Bbl retains about 95% orig blue with slight muzzle & sharp edge wear with a few scattered spots of rust. Magazine tube retains most of its orig factory finish, strong & bright in sheltered areas, turning plum on outside. Forend cap retains 50-60% strong case colors & receiver about all of its orig case colors lightly faded over most of the surfaces & turning silver on bottom. Lever & hammer retain most of their orig case colors, thin on outside edges. Stock has a repaired crack completely around behind wrist & there is a short crack ahead of carrier opening & a small chip by forend cap in forearm, otherwise wood is sound & retains most of its beautiful factory oil finish with a filled grain flaw on left side of buttstock & light handling & use marks elsewhere. Mechanics are smooth & crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-58924 JR305 (9,000-12,000)
