Description:
VERY EARLY PRODUCTION 1876 SECOND MODEL .45-60 ROUND BARREL RIFLE, #5XXX, MADE 1878. This is one of the earliest rifles I've seen in a while. The receiver shows some blue around the side plates, around the hammer and under the lever/trigger area and loading gate with the balance mostly gray/brown. The barrel shows some good lightly aged blue on the bottom section above the mat tube, around the rear sight etc. with the balance gray/brown. Thin blue on the mag tube and looks to me like it has had a little cold blue added on the tube and retaining band only at some time. Exc. barrel markings, mellow brass lifter is un-polished and marked "45-60" as is the barrel top. Exc. stock and forend with minimal handling marks and good wood to metal fit. Original dust cover and correct rail held by screws as used on 2nd. models. Tight action, strong safety half-cock and surprisingly fine bore for such an early rifle that shows strong rifling all the way through and is still fairly bright. Buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and Winchester blade front sight. A very attractive 147 year old 1876.
