Description:
#4264 Winchester 1873 OBFMCB w/SST, 22RF Short with reasonably decent bore (about a 6+ on a scale of 10 and should clean a little better yet with a good scrubbing); VERY scarce single set trigger! Serial numbered in the 385XXX range, (1891), this Winchester was made shortly after the introduction of the famed 22caliber Model 1890 Slide Action Winchester, which quickly outsold the heavy Model '73.. (The lightweight slide action Model 1890 is no doubt the undisputed “King of the American 22s” insofar as numbers made in the 20th century). Heavy and difficult to load, especially for kids, the Model 1873 in 22caliber was always a poor seller with only about 10,000 total made in 22Short and even less in 22Long. The set trigger feature, while being somewhat uncommon in the other calibers, was almost a non-existent option in the small 22-caliber; this is only the second one that I’ve had in fifty years of collecting. The exterior of this rifle is WAY above average and has about 90% coverage of a 70% density dull “flattened” blue on the barrel and 70% coverage of a 40% density bluish-brown on the frame. The metal is very crisp-edged and devoid of any serious damage or blemishes. The wood is also well above average and the set trigger does work. Standard sights. As with many of these 22s, the magazine spring is very weak and no longer has enough tension to push the cartridges in to the carrier, but it does feed and extract cartridges if it is hand fed the rounds. It is a pity that the blue on this really nice Winchester has dulled down from the glassy blue when new, as the coverage would easily rate as “Excellent” …but even as it is, it is about “Fine” Was $2750 ....now $2475
