Description:
DESIRABLE 1895 OCTAGON RIFLE IN .38-56 CALIBER, MADE 1898, nice example with fine lightly aged barrel blue overall, mag tube turning more brown, mottled cloudy receiver with some case color remaining on the hammer and a slight trace on the most protected areas, fine wood with a very slight short stress crack coming back from the lower tang- barely visible and goes nowhere, original sights, tight action, bore a little dark and could use a good cleaning to be about exc- not pitted, exc. markings including "Special Smokeless Steel" on the barrel, a better caliber than is given credit for as this is the .45-70 case necked down to .38 caliber and holding a full 56 grains of black powder as opposed to the .38-55 which was a straight .30-30 case and only held about 42-45 grains of powder, getting very hard to find 1895s in any condition.
