Description:
  This is a nice, and very interesting Remington Hepburn sporting rifle.  It is an early gun, 3 digit serial number, it is chambered in the .40  1 7/8" , also known as the .40-50 Sharps straight.  It has a half octagon barrel with an excellent bore - it is bright, shiny with excellent lands and grooves - about a 9/10.  The butt stock is marked with a name - " J. Morrow " - I don't know who that was?  The receiver has fading case colors, the action functions perfectly. The barrel retains a significant amount of blue with scattered marks, and some plumbish patina.  The top of the barrel has 2 filled holes from a previous rear sight.  The rear tang sight is from the period and lines up nicely with the other sights.  The wood is solid and tight.  The rifle can be sold with or without the dies, brass and bullets.  The dies are modified from 40-70 S.straight, the bullets include 20 Hawk .403 diameter, soft jacketed 270 gr. The lead bullets are .399 diameter made for paper patching with a hollow base, from Buffalo arms - 25 of these. The brass is also from Buffalo - made from .303 Brit., 20 new pieces.  **** If you want everything the price is $ 2900, plus shipping.   If you don't want the loading supplies, it is $250 less - $ 2650 for the rifle, plus shipping. ****   This is an 'antique', and can ship directly to you in Most states - not all, NJ, etc.  I am a FFL and do require that you can legally own a firearm to purchase.  *** Check or certified funds preferred - Thank you!
