Description:
This is a special order Winchester in .38 WCF caliber with a 30" octagon barrel with full length mag tube. Case hardened frame with set trigger and a little extra figure to the wood stocks and a rifle style butt plate. Adjustable rear tang sight. This was quite a gun when it was new! Today we have traces of case color in the protected areas on the receiver with the rest a silver tone. Traces of color on the hammer and lever too. Barrel and mag tube are a brownish patina with original blue in the protected areas. Bore still has shine and good rifling with light scattered roughness. The action and markings are crisp. Wood is good with some oil staining and a few old scattered mars. This is an 1891 mfd. Winchester. Long barreled '73's are really cool!
