Description:
VERY FINE CONDITION, SPECIAL ORDER 1894 .38-55 TAKEDOWN RIFLE WITH RARE HALF-OCTAGON BARREL/FULL MAGAZINE COMBINATION AND SHOTGUN BUTT, #143XXX, MADE 1902. The special order half-octagon barrel would normally be supplied by Winchester with a half-magazine unless again special ordered with a full magazine, as on this one. So, this is actually two special order features and one that is rarely encountered. It also has a shotgun butt with smooth steel butt plate. Further, it is fitted with the standard buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact, Lyman tang sight (with fold out fine aperture eye piece intact) paired with a Lyman Beach folding globe front sight. The receiver retains fine lightly thinning blue on the receiver sides with excellent deep blue on the bolt with mainly edge wear and blue wear to the receiver ring and receiver bottom. There is still some light case color on the lever sides and hammer. Barrel and mag show fine aged blue also with thinning mainly on the round portion of the barrel. The screws are excellent and the butt stock and forend are also excellent with tight wood to metal fit. Interestingly, the walnut is a little better than standard grade as is usual for special order rifles. The bore is a little dark and shows light wear with fine rifling all the way through. Tight takedown. A really attractive and unusual 119 year old Winchester 1894 in a great caliber.
