Description:
REMINGTON KEENE BOLT ACTION .45-70 SPORTER WITH FANCIER THAN STANDARD WALNUT. Only about 5,000 of these were made (in rifle, military musket and carbine configurations) from 1880-1883. They were made in .40, .43 and .45-70 calibers with the laatter the most popular then and now. This one has the correct 24 1/2" round barrel with full magazine. The stock is fairly fancy walnut, which is unusual and appears to have been lightly gone over, but not heavily sanded etc. There is one very small crack in the extreme upper right corner of the forend by the forend cap that is minor. The barrel and mag blue has aged and is mixing lightly with some uncleaned plum. All markings on the ejector portion of the top of the bolt are excellent. The receiver shows aged blue mixing gray. The trigger guard shows evidence of some old corrosion that was wiped off and is mainly gray. The action functions fine and ejects cases correctly. the magazine cut-off is intact and working and the hammer has a strong safety half-cock. Original Remington ladder rear sight with slide intact and small blade/bead front sight. The bore has good rifling all the way through and shows some scttered light corrosion. In all, a most attractive and scarce 140+ year old Remington .45-70. Even more rare with fancy walnut.
