Description:
SUPERIOR CONDITION 1873 .22 LONG CALIBER WITH VERY SCARCE ROUND BARREL, WITH FACTORY LETTER, MADE 1885, quoting from the Winchester Handbook by Madis, "most rifles in this caliber have octagon barrels, we rarely find the standard round barrel..." Retains fine bright receiver blue that has some normal light thinning from age, mellow brass lifter marked "22 Long" (this is unusual as .22 cal rifles are rarely marked on the lifter) and barrel is marked "22 CAL.) fine barrel and mag blue that is getting a little dull from age and mixing lightly plum with some tiny pin-prick pitting on the right side by the muzzle- you have to look for it to see it, original buckhorn rear sight with Winchester factory blade front (looks like it had a tang sight on at one time as there is a faint outline of the base in the bright blue of the tang), exc. markings and surprisingly fine+ bore (not quite perfect, but one of the best I've seen on a .22 caliber 1873), has some small dings on the left side of the receiver front edge where it meets the forend- minor, original dust cover, nice screws, exc. wood with fine wood to metal fit, overall one of the best I've seen in a long time and rare in round barrel configuration.
