Description:
VERY UNUSUAL SPECIAL ORDER 1892 .44-40 TAKEDOWN, FULL OCTAGON, HALF MAGAZINE, #922XXX, MADE 1923. The full octagon barrel and half magazine are actually TWO special order features because when a half magazine was specified the rifle came with either a half-octagon barrel or a round barrel. A full octagon barrel with half magazine was non-standard. This is a fairly late rifle and has all the correct late barrel markings etc. It retains fine barrel blue with some normal light wear. Theshort mag tube retains fine blue. It has a buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and a small blade front sight. The receiver blue has aged to mostly brown with blue in protected areas, on the loading gate and bolt with some gray mixing more toward the receiver bottom. Screw heads are excellent. The stock and forearm show tight wood to metal fit and could use a good clean to reveal a little better than standard grade of walnut, which was typical for special order guns. There is some staining on the comb of the butt stock that ought to be fairly easy to remove along with some old grime. The action is tight with a strong safety half-cock on the hammer. tight takedown and best of all, THE BORE IS BRIGHT AND MINTY. An interesting and rare variation in a great caliber.
