Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description:  EXCELLENT CONDITION HEPBURN 30" OCTAGON SPORTING RIFLE IN DESIRABLE CALIBER 38-55 WITH BRIGHT EXCELLENT BORE. This rifle in the 9XXX serial range has the later ebony wedge/schnable forend tip where the earlier rifles had steel tips. One of the more scarce calibers for the Hepburn, the .38-55 is much less common than most calibers normally encountered in this model. Barrel and receiver serial numbers match, correct Remington barrel address, exc. barrel blue, fine blue on the hammer and breech block, still retains some aged case color on the butt plate, receiver ring and left side of the receiver with the right side having some color mainly around the lever and in the protected areas. Rocky mountain blade front sight with Remington buckhorn rear sight, tight wood to metal fit and generally excellent stock and forend with fine factory checkering on the pistol grip. There is one tiny hole in the left side of the forend by the forend screw that seems to go nowhere and I don’t understand why it is there, yet I’ve seen an identical one in other Hepburn rifles. On close inspection it appears to go to where the cut out in the wood inside the forend is that houses the forend screw. I wonder if it was somehow to hold a pin that connected with the forend screw to keep it tight…but that seems odd. A touch of wood fill would make it disappear, but I’ve left it. If someone knows what this was for I’d sure like to know! Regardless, it is so minor it is hardly worth mentioning. Hepburn sporters are really hard to find these days and this is a fine one with a great bore.
