Description:
FINE CONDITION CLASSIC 1873 OCTAGON RIFLE, .38-40, #542XXX, MADE 1900. This nice example shows fine deep barrel blue that is dulling a little from age, but still good blue. The mag tube is similar with a bit of uncleaned plum mixing on the bottom. It retains the original buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and the original Winchester blade front sight. The receiver still shows good aged soft blue with brighter blue in protected areas of the rear of the receiver, around the side plates and on the loading gate. The original dust cover shows fine blue. Receiver screws appear unturned and the uncleaned mustard color brass lifter is correctly stamped "38 CAL." Fine stock and forend showing only normal light handling. There is a crack coming forward from the bottom of the butt plate- about 1/2" from the tip- that goes forward on each side for a couple of inches that could easily be reinforced, or just left as is- not overly significant. the action is tight and the bore is bright and excellent. A little light surface cleaning overall would probably enhance this one that seems to have a 121 years of grime on it!
