Description:
BUFFALO GUN CATEGORY, WHITNEY-LAIDLEY STYLE 1 ROLLING BLOCK 30" OCTAGON SPORTING RIFLE IN RARE AND DESIRABLE .44-90 BN CALIBER! These were only made from 1871-1881 (the buffalo hunt years!) with sporting rifles being scarce in all calibers, but especially in the big center fire cartridges like this one, This one is serial numbered in the 6XXX range and the barrel and receiver numbers match, surprisingly about exc. bore is only a little dark, medium-heavy octagon barrel shows even aged blue mixing plum and brown, gray/brown receiver, correct Whitney-Laidley markings on the upper tang, tight action, fine wood shows normal light handling only, probably had a tang sight on at one time as the two holes in the upper tang lack the filler screws, small blade front sight with rear sight having two buckhorn flip ups, rear of the barrel correctly marked "44" and the chamber measures out to be .44-90, correct rounded metal forend tip, these big early Whitney-Laidley sporters rarely turn up in any condition.
