Description:
I'm listing a rather unique Colt Large frame rifle, it's antique, Mfg’d in 1890, serial number 4728, popular caliber being, 45/85/ 285 or simply a 45/70. It is what  I believe to be a Sporting model , has a 24" barrel which seems to be factory , half round , half octagon  also with  what appears to be original sling swivels. I've contacted Colt and awaiting a letter to see if more info is available .  Rifle is in great condition for its age , 131 years old. Rifles bore is in good condition for a black powder era rifle. I've shot it and could supply you with a short video of me firing it if you wish.  if you've any questions or need additional pictures please email or call or text me at 920-590-34 I'd like to ad a letter from Colt has been applied for. I realize the rifle is antique but still prefer shipping to your own C&R or a FFL of your choice. I ship through the USPS . 
|> thank you and have a fine day 
just received Colt letter, sad to say rifle started with a 28" octagon barrel, apparently barrel change or mor likely just shortened 4" and machined down to a half round configuration , still a truly unique rifle but not as I'd hoped. I will reduce the price . Thanks for your interest
