Description:
ATTRACTIVE 1876 OCTAGON RIFLE IN .45-60 CALIBER, #87XXX, MADE 1883. This is a really nice looking, "attic condition" rifle that has that unmessed with and uncleaned look to it. All metal parts- receiver, dust cover, barrel and magazine have an aged blue, plum/brown patina. There is good blue on the loading gate and in the protected areas around the side plates, but the balance is an even aged plum. Even the receiver screws looked unturned. Mellow, uncleaned brass lifter is marked .45-60. All sharp markings and the barrel is mounted with the sporting ladder sight that is marked 1876 along with a standard Winchester blade front sight. The action is tight with secure safety half-cock. Bore is fine with good rifling and light scattered surface roughness- better than usually seen on these early big bore black powder cartridge Winchesters. Fine forend shows some honest saddle wear just ahead of the receiver, butt stock has two long hairline cracks coming back from each side of the upper tang- truly hairline, in fact I owned this one for some time before I noticed it- tight wood to metal fit and appears solid. This one recently came out of Arizona. This one just has a good look and feel to it.
