RARE VOLCANIC ARMS LEVER ACTION CARBINE. SN 2886. Cal. 41. Usual configuration with 16″ oct bbl with integral magazine tube and full ribs on each side. It has pinched post front sight and its orig wheel adjustable rear sight in a dovetail on top flat of the receiver. Top flat of bbl has the 3-line Volcanic address which is a light strike as is often typical on Volcanic Arms products. Receiver & sideplates are silver plated gun metal brass with typical Volcanic engraving consisting of light arabesque scrolls on sides with decorative engraving over front receiver ring and feather patterns on top strap and around hammer slot. Top tang and buttplate tang are engraved to match. Mounted with uncheckered-slab sawed American walnut with silver plated crescent brass buttplate. Stock has a knot and a spot of sapwood on left side. Serial number was observed on right side of lower tang under the stock, inside both sideplates, on both toggle links and right side of lever. Left side of lever and right side of top tang under wood is stamped with a curious “Y” or “V” initial. Left side of top tang under the wood has the assembly number “182” which number is found on buttstock, under buttplate tang, inside the buttplate tang and on all three tang screws and both buttplate screws. Few Volcanic Arms carbines were produced in the period 1855-1857 although they were offered in three bbl lengths. CONDITION: Fine to very fine, all matching including all buttstock screws. Bbl retains most of its orig blue, thin and turning plummy brown with cloth pattern rust pitting in a few spots on side flats of the rotating sleeve. Magazine tube & ribs retain strong orig blue, also with some scattered pitting. Receiver and sideplates retain 30-40% thin orig silver plating with the exposed brass retaining sharp edges and a dark mustard patina. Top edges of sideplates have one small dent on each side. Stock is missing a chip from the knot area on left side and has a small crack over the sapwood spot, otherwise stock is sound with very few, very minor handling & storage nicks & scratches and retains most of its strong orig piano varnish finish. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore. 4-42255 JR152 (15,000-25,000)
