Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: VERY FINE CONDITION 1881 IN .38-55 WITH 28” OCTAGON BARREL, #2XXX, MADE 1889. A particularly nice example that came out of Wyoming. This one  retains fine deep blue on the receiver sides and bolt that is only aged and mixing a little with plum. Fine deep barrel and mag blue that also show some light age and plum mixing mostly on the edges. Original rear buckhorn sight paired with a small Lyman half moon front sight. Fine butt stock and forearm have that attractive gold & red walnut wood that Marlin often used on this model and show only normal light handling WITHOUT the usual crack in the forend side ahead of the sliding loading gate. Obviously had a tang sight on at one time as the mounting screws are still in the factory drilled and tapped holes and there is a bright blue outline of where the sight was- would be easy to fine a vintage Lyman sight to replace- and even the forend cap retains some good aged blue. Tight action. Bore a bit dark with good rifling throughout that needs a good scrubbing out to be fine+ or better. A desirable caliber and hard to find in this nice condition SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: MARLIN Model: 1881 OCTAGN SPORTING RIFLE Serial Number: 22XXX Caliber Info: .38-55 Condition: FINE+ Barrels: 28" OCT.
