Description:
Sale Pending. Winchester 3rd Model 1873 Standard Sporting Rifle in 38-40. 24" Octagon Barrel, Full magazine, and Crescent Rifle Buttplate with sliding trapdoor. Antique Serial number is in the 477,000 range. Made in 1894. Original sights include semi-buckhorn rear sight with standard German silver blade front sight. Overall Condition Grades to the upper level of NRA Antique Very Good with 20% original blue remaining on the receiver....some patches of blue along the rear portions of the frame behind the sideplates and in protected areas with the balance having turned to a smooth brown patina. Barrel and magazine tube are similar to the frame with 30% discernable original blue that has darkened with age towards the protected areas with the balance turned over to a plum patina. Nice markings throughout including the 38 CAL on the brass loading block and the decorative victorian era dipped border on the hammer knurling (See Photos). The wood is Very Good overall. It's solid with no repairs or extra holes. There are various small dings, scratches, and bruises that it's likely picked up from being hunted. Has not been cleaned, refinished, or sanded and the wood fits up nicely to the metal and isn't undersized. Action works nicely...lever stays up, firing pin still indexes. It has a Good bore with decent rifling, no rings or bulges...some light scattered pits which is fairly typical of an old Winchester from the black powder era. Nice clean 1873 Rifle in above average condition. Antique, No FFL required under Federal Law. Please know your state and local laws as these may vary. $50.00 shipping in Lower US 48. Sorry, no international sales.
