SCARCE MAYNARD NO. 2 GALLERY & SMALL GAME SINGLE SHOT RIFLE. SN 2724. Cal. 22. Usual configuration with 26″ oct to rnd bbl, combination front sight, fixed rear sight and a graduated peep sight with small disc. Mounted with nicely figured, slab-sawed, uncheckered American walnut, without forearm and has straight stock with semi-crescent color case hardened buttplate. Receiver has standard markings on both sides. It also has standard serpentine finger lever. This model Maynard rifle was produced in significant quantities but was considered a boy’s rifle of its day and consequently saw hard service, usually with little or no maintenance and are rarely found today with high orig finish. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl retains 97-98% strong orig blue with light, scattered surface rust; receiver, lever, hammer & buttplate retain about all of their brilliant orig case colors lightly faded on bottom of receiver, outer face of lever and on buttplate. Stock has a hairline crack in the toe adjacent to the lower buttplate screw, otherwise is sound with a few light nicks & scratches, a couple of heavier scratches on left side and overall retains most of its orig oil finish. Mechanics are crisp, strong bright bore, frosty in the grooves. 4-47072 JR348 (3,000-5,000)
