SCARCE REMINGTON B QUALITY NO. 3 MATCH RIFLE.

SCARCE REMINGTON B QUALITY NO. 3 MATCH RIFLE. Cal. 38-50. SN 7878. Scarce rifle, one of less than 1,000 built in the period 1883 – 1907. It has a 30″ medium weight octl to round bbl with spirit level wind gage front sight and no provision for a rear sight. The top flat has the makers name and address. The receiver has usual markings on the left side and it has very rare dbl set triggers. The top tang is mounted with a mid-range Vernier sight with 3-1/4″ staff. It is mounted with very nicely figured, dark American walnut with long checkered forearm with pewter or silver tip and a round knob semi-pistol grip stock with heavy cheekpiece and Swiss buttplate. The bbl, forearm, buttstock and buttplate are all numbered to the receiver and the name “C.G. Giddings” is stamped in the top tang channel of the buttstock. The cartridge for this rifle is nearly identical to the Winchester 38-55. It was introduced in 1883 for this rifle and discontinued after a short period of time. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl retains about all of an extremely fine professionally restored finish. Receiver retains about all of its orig case colors, generally faded but stronger in the sheltered areas. Opening lever is a mottled gray patina as is the trigger guard. Set triggers function perfectly. Forearm has had the checkering freshened and that portion refinished. Front sight may be replaced. Buttstock is sound and all orig, showing moderate wear on the checkering with light handling and use nicks and scratches and a couple of small bruises on the cheekpiece. Buttplate is polished bright. Mechanics are crisp. Brilliant shiny bore. 4-56640 (5,000-7,500)
