Description:
REMINGTON HEPBURN OCTAGON SPORTING RIFLE IN SCARCE .32-40 CALIBER, #7XXX, MADE C.1890. This is a transition rifle that has the ebony inlay in the forend tip instead of the earlier steel tip. Interestingly, the butt plate serial number and the receiver number are exactly one number away from the number on the barrel and forend. No doubt a factory mix-up. This one has a 30" medium weight octagon barrel with correct Remington crown at the muzzle ( Remington bevelled the octagon sharp edge at the muzzle- a good way to tell if a Remington barrel has been cut). Fine lightly aged deep barrel blue and excellent Remington markings on the barrel top with "32 . 40" on the bottom flat just ahead of the forend tip. The receiver shows just a little case color by the lever, the left side of the receiver is a cloudy gray with a hint of color. Very tight action, correct Remington patent dates on the lower left side of the receiver. There is a filler in the rear sight dovetail and it is fitted with a globe with pinhead front sight and a later Marble tang sight. Appears to be one tiny hole just in front of the upper tang screw with filler screw in it- barely visible. Wood is fine with one very thin crack coming forward from the center of the butt plate for about 2 1/2" on each side, but goes no further. When I removed the butt plate to check the serial number I saw where a hole had been drilled where this crack is and the hole was filled with glue to stabalize the crack (which is fairly minor anyway). Sharp checkering on the pistol grip, very tight action, EXCELLENBT SHARP BORE. This is a seldom seen, desirable caliber in the Hepburn model.
