Description:
26 inch round barrel chambered in 45-70 Govt. caliber with a bright shiny near excellent bore. Sights include a Lyman beaded blade front and adjustable sporting rear. Barrel has turned mostly a brown/grey patina. Second model cut-off and safety switches on either side of the receiver. Beautiful fancy grade checkered stock with a glossy finish added is in good condition with a repaired crack on the right side and some horn inlays where the sling eyes would be. Schnabel horn forend cap and pistol grip cap of horn inlay as well. These Second Models were only manufactured around 1880-1883 and are limited to around 16,117. Around 13,000 were Muskets which were primarily sold to the Chinese government. The remaining 3,000+ were a mix of carbines and sporting rifles, making all of them very rare.
