DELUXE LARGE FRAME BULLARD LEVER ACTION RIFLE. Cal. 45. SN 721. Early rifle, one of the 10,000 to 12,000 rifles produced in period 1886 to 1890 of which only a few were a Deluxe. This rifle has 28″ oct bbl, full magazine, Rocky Mountain front sight & semi-buckhorn rear sight. It has usual markings on receiver. It has an unusual brass & iron dust-cover that may be a homemade replacement. Mounted with nicely figured, checkered American walnut with pistol grip stock & crescent buttplate. It appears that the lever is possibly a homemade replacement as it does not match the contour of an original. CONDITION: Fair. Bbl retains strong orig blue mixed with brown patina under a heavy coating of old dried oil. Magazine tube is mostly a dark plum patina. Receiver retains about 50% blue mixed with balance a dark patina. Right side of receiver has numerous small nicks & left side has heavy file marks from someone removing a battered or broken lever screw, other screws are also battered. Top tang has strong bright blue from where a tang sight was removed. All metal has heavy coating of old dried oil. Forearm has a full length crack on bottom with deep gouge on right side & buttstock has a crack at wrist & another at back of top tang with a chunk missing back of bottom tang & another piece loose. Overall it retains a heavy, crackled, dark finish that may clean better. Mechanics need adjustment as the hammer will not go to full cock when the bolt is open & the breech block will not close completely without persuasion, otherwise mechanics are ok. Strong bright bore with some scattered pitting. 8-76186 JR250 (1,000-2,000)
