About Us: When calling ask for the Gun Library
Description:
After examination by the Gun Library staff, our opinion of this Hepburn No. 3 is that it was originally chambered in .32-30 Remington (32 1-5/8") and later rechambered to .32-40 Remington-Hepburn (32 2-1/8") as evidenced by the overstamped markings on the lower barrel flat (see photo). This Hepburn No. 3, aside from being in nice condition, has a bore that slugs at .308". The rifle was traded to us with the included fire-formed casing from a .30-40 Krag which by its dimensions indicates a chambering of .32-40 Remington-Hepburn (Not to be confused with a .32-40 Winchester or .32-40 Ballard). It is suggested that the buyer have a competent gunsmith take a chamber casting to definitively identify chambering prior to use. The tang sight is an accurate reproduction of one that would be correct on a Remington No. 1 rifle, not one typically found on a Remington-Hepburn No. 3.
