Description:
ANTIQUE SERIAL NUMBER 1894 .38-55 SADDLE RING CARBINE, #109XXX, MADE 1897. This is a fine example that recently came out of Helena, Montana. A difficult caliber carbine to find from any time period, but particularly hard to find Pre-1899. This one shows good aged blue on the mag tube with the bottom half mixing plum/brown and the top half, which is more protected, showing better blue. Similarly, the barrel shows thinning blue mixing brown with better blue on the bottom section. The receiver is mostly gray/brown with some blue left around the protected area of the saddle ring and on the loading gate. It has the typical original carbine front sight with a filler in the rear dovetail and a Marbles tang sight (I checked and there are no extra holes hidden by the tang sight base). The walnut stock and forend are particularly fine with tight wood to metal fit. There appears to be a tiny dowel-filled hole in the bottom of the stock where a sling swivel might have gone but I think it also could be a factory fill from a knot in the walnut. Either way it is very minor and hard to notice. Tight action and fine+ bore that may have a little scattered light surface roughness toward the middle of the bore that might scrub out. Nice uncleaned/unaltered appearance and lots of history in this 121 year old Montana Winchester Saddle Ring Carbine!
