Description:
RAREST CALIBER, .32-40, TO BE FOUND IN THE 1894 SADDLE RING CARBINE, THIS ONE WITH SERIAL NUMBER 971XXX WAS ONE OF THE LAST OF THE SADDLE RING CARBINES MADE, 1925. Really unusual for two reasons: the first is that the caliber was seldom chambered in the carbine and second is that it is such a late carbine to be so chambered! By 1925 the .38-55 and .32-40 were pretty well obsolete- especially the .32-40. At the end of the saddle ring carbine production .30 WCF, .32 WS had taken over. Even the .25-35 was on the way out. This is a very fine example with fine barrel and magazine blue that shows only a little age and thinning. The receiver is unusual in that most 1920s vintage receivers flaked their blue rapidly while this one still retains good blue with thinning/flaking toward the bottom forward side panels along with the usual receiver ring and edge wear. Exc. blue on the loading gate. Fine wood with tight wood to metal fit, exc. screws, carbine ladder rear sight with slide intact, front sight is the unusual optional Marble “94 C long blade/bead double base” sight that is correct, but not often encountered. Bore is generally excellent with perhaps a small spot of light corrosion or light leading in the middle of the barrel that ought to scrub out. An unusual and hard to find caliber saddle ring carbine!
