PRE SALE, EXPECTED BY APRIL 12th....LAYAWAY?.......... MINTY....serial #9192, .50 cal., 21 5/8” part round part octagon barrel with a bright perhaps fine bore showing some scattered patches of light pitting and light oxidation in the otherwise strong rifling. The barrel retains about 90% original thinning blue appearing stronger under ambient light with scattered spots of old light oxidation and some speckles of old hardened preservative on the underside. The barrel band and buttplate have aged to a plum-brown patina while the triggerguard and buttstock collar retain about 95% original vibrant blue with some scattered speckles of light oxidation. The barrel latch spring shows minor flaking to pleasant brown patina and stronger original blue along the edges. The frame and hammer retain perhaps 95% original case-hardened finish with also showing speckles of light oxidation and strong colors throughout. Markings are correct and clear with the “SPRINGFIELD MASS” on the left side of the frame softened from contact with the intact saddle ring. The walnut buttstock and forend rate very fine with a few scattered small dings; the wood features nice raised grain throughout. The stock markings are crisp with two cartouches on the left side of the wrist and inspection initials on the underside of the forend and on the comb. The sights are intact and the action is strong and crisp.50 caliber, ....2nd firearm ships FREE with this one......... S/H $55.. ....Thanks, Greg #597-98 ....NOTE: MORE PHOTOS ONCE IN HAND.
