*BARREL: 26" Octagon, full magazine
*ACTION: Lever
*SIGHTS: Adjustable buckhorn rear for elevation
*STOCK: Straight-grip Walnut stock with plain forearm, and metal cresent butt plate.

FINISH: Bluing on barrel, and receiver has worn off, metal in the white. No signs of rust, some small knicks on barrel.

BORE: Light frost, good rifling

MECHANICS: Solid lever action, strong hammer

ASSESSMENT: Except for the bluing and a chip onthe wood this is still one very stout, solid gun at 9 3/4 lbs. Remember this is one of the strongest actions made by Winchester to take advantage of more powerfu center fire cartridges of the time. Great gun for a beginning Winchester collector.
