Description:
SPECIAL ORDER 1873 2ND. MODEL, 38-40 , EXTRA LONG 28" OCTAGON BARREL, SET TRIGGER AND SHOTGUN BUTT, #66XXX, SHIPPED 1881. This is a really scarce rifle as according to The Winchester Handbook by George Madis, only 1201 rifles had longer than the standard 24" barrels. The factory letter that comes with this rifle confirms the caliber, barrel length and set trigger. The receiver blue has aged and is mixing a deep brown patina, similarly, the barrel and magazine blue has aged and mixed brown. Sharp markings, original dust cover, fine wood with tight wood to metal fit showing normal handling only, smooth steel butt plate. Tight action and fine bore that is a bit dark with strong rifling and scattered light corrosion. Set trigger works correctly and has the adjustment screw intact, original buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar and small Winchester blade front sight. Mellow brass lifter with .38 Cal. marking has not been cleaned or polished. Generally fine screws with onlly one in the right side plate peened. Strong safety half-cock and fully functional. This is an early special order 1873 2nd. Model with an attractive appearance.
