Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: 1892 .44-40 OCTAGON RIFLE, #186XXX, MADE 1901, WITH VERY SMALL BRITISH PROOF MARKS ON THE REAR OF THE BARREL AND SIDE OF THE RECEIVER RING. An interesting rifle with, no doubt, lots of history in it as it could have gone any place in the Victorian British Empire! In fact, this one was made during the Boer War in Africa that a young Winston Churchill fought in. A really nice condition example with nearly all the deep blue remaining on the barrel and magazine and showing only minor age. The receiver has good thinning blue on the sides with about half evenly remaining and the balance gray/brown. Original Winchester small blade front sight with flat top buckhorn rear sight, exc. stock and forearm and tight wood to metal fit, nice screws, tight action, excellent markings, fine bore shows a little wear but has good rifling all the way through with some light scattered surface pitting only. A really attractive early .44-40 octagon rifle that is getting harder and harder to find.
