Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: ONE OF THE LAST OF THE .32-40 CALIBER 1894 OCTAGON RIFLES, #1038XXX, MADE 1928! By this time in 1894 production, the .32-40 was considered obsolete and the caliber was rarely chambered. In 1930 barrels were no longer even made in this caliber. This rifle shows excellent deep barrel blue, mag tube also shows fine blue with minor thinning. The receiver still shows the 1920s blue/black finish that was used during this time and is known to flake easily and rapidly. Most guns from this vintage show totally flaked and silvered receivers, this one retains excellent blue on the bolt and fine blue/black on the left side with some small areas of brown/flaking, the right side shows good blue in the middle of the panel an has plum-brown flaking with typical pin-prick freckling mainly on the top and bottom sections with good blue on the tang, receiver ring and all protected areas. Case colored lever still shows some fine color on the upper section, wood with tight wood to metal fit and one rub spot on the bottom of the forend about three inches from the tip. Buckhorn and Winchester blade front sight. No doubt Winchester was using up left over parts at this point as the tang has the late markings, yet the barrel has earlier markings which is typical of “Parts Clean-Up” guns made at the end of production when “everything had to go.” Almost all rifles with serial numbers above 700000 were round with octagon scarce. Correct proof marks on barrel and receiver, bore shows slight use and would rate about exc., tight action, very scarce late variation in nice condition.
