Description:
Caliber 30-30. I don't think I've had one of these for probably 25 years; very scarce gun that features the correct 7-1/2" which is the shortest of the two short rifle forearms. Express 3-leaf sight missing one leaf; blade front sight. Orig wood shows the usual amount of wear with a few nicks and gouges but is sound, solid with no splits or cracks; complete with what I'm positive is the orig carbine style buttplate-why not a carbine BP on a 16" short rifle? The last one I had, also had a carbine butt, as well as a saddlering. Decent, clean little gun with 25% blue in the protected areas on the bbl and mag; receiver is just a plum brown coloration with exc screws, no signs of pitting or any other abuse to the metal. Cool little gun!
