Description:
*************SALE IN PROGRESS***********
THIS IS A SECOND ISSUE OF THE WINCHESTER 1873 44-40 GUN. THIS ONE IS A SADDLE RING CARBINE 44-40. THE WINCHESTER NAME AND ADDRESS AND CALIBER DO NOT APPEAR ON THE BARREL.
SOME BLESSED SOUL FELT IT NECESSARY TO CLEAN UP THE GUN AND PUT SOME BLUEING ON IT. THE 20 INCH BARREL DOES NOT HAVE ANY PITTS OR RUST ON THE OUTSIDE. THE FACTORY LADDER SIGHT IS THERE. THE RECEIVER IS IN THE SAME CONDITION WITH THE SADDLE RING INTCT. THE DUST COVER HAS SOME DINGS ON IT??? THE WOOD IS SOLID AND HAS BEEN SANDED BUT WOOD STILL IS HIGHER THAN THE METAL TOP AND BOTTOM. FOREEND IS CLOSE TO MATCHING THE HEIGHT OF THE METAL. AND THE SINGLE BAND IS IN TACT. I DO SHOOT THE 44-40 AND HAVE SOME AMMO FOR IT SO I TOOK IT TO THE RANGE THE LOADS WERE TWO LIGHT AND THE WRONG LENGTH FOR THE BULLET. THIS GUN NEED A BULLET WHICH ONLY SHOWS THE NOSE OF THE BULLET. (NO EXPOSED GREASE GROOVES). IT WILL NOT WORK THRU THE ACTION. AND THE LOADS WERE TO LIGHT, SO I DID NOT GET GOOD RESULTS OFF HAND AT 50 YARDS. ABOUT 3 INCHES. GUN AND HAD TO FEED THEM INTO THE CHAMBER BY HAND. AT 50 YARDS IT SHOT ABOUT 3 INCH GROUP. DID NOT HAVE TIME TO DEVELOPE A GOOD LOAD FOR IT. THE BORE IS DARK.
SHIPPING WILL BE BE UPS 40.00. INSURED...
