Description:
EARLY 1886 STANDARD ROUND BARREL RIFLE IN .38-56 CALIBER, #20XXX, MADE 1888. This is a nice uncleaned and unmessed with example that retains good deep barrel blue showing light age only. The mag tube is mostly aged to brown on the bottom 3/4 with some good blue in the more protected area below the barrel. Exc. markings, with buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and half moon front sight. The receiver is a mottled gray with some very, very light whispy traces of case color and exc. screw heads. The bolt retains fine bright blue. Exc. stock and forearm with tight wood to metal fit and only the lightest of handling marks. Tight action, strong safety half-cock on the hammer and the bore is a little dark with fine rifling all the way through with any roughness very light and surface. The .38-56 is often a misunderstood cartridge- it is the .45-70 case necked to take .377" bullets and holds a full 56 grains of powder. The .38-55 case is simply a straight .30-30 case with no neck and only holds about 45 grains of black powder. This was a powerful cartridge that was effective against big game. A nice, original 1886 made the 2nd yfull ear of production. Comes with a Cody call-in sheet verifying the above and showing a shipping date of August 10, 1888.
