Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: SELDOM SEEN REMINGTON-LEE MAGAZINE BOLT ACTION MODEL 1879 U. S. NAVY MARKED AND ISSUED .45-70 CALIBER, #9XX, ONLY 1300 MADE. This was the first Remington-Lee and is quickly identified by the low serial number and the flat sided magazine. This one has the correct anchor stamping plus inspector stampings found on the rifles issued to the Navy. This is a fine example with fine aged barrel blue mixing plum, fine bore with strong rifling and only some light scattered roughness, the receiver and magazine are also uncleaned and show aged blue with some plum/brown mixing.  Correct military ladder rear sight as made by Remington, correct swivels, uncleaned/unsanded wood with one probably arsenal repair to a crack at the wrist that starts about three inches back of the action and goes forward on each side for a couple inches- neatly done , solid and minor. Lots of excellent information on this model in John D. McAulay's book RIFLES OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY & MARINE CORPS. One of the more rare of the U.S. Navy rifles of the period and certainly less common than the later models. Fine appearance.
