Description:
HIGH CONDITION SPECIAL ORDER 1894 RARE COMBINATION HALF-OCT. &FULL MAGAZINE, WITH FANCY WALNUT, .32WS, #396XXX, MADE 1908. As I always state with this barrel/magazine option, it is actually two special order features as half octagon barrels came standard with half magazines unless special ordered with a full magazine. When Winchester built special order rifles they often chose better than standard grade walnut, and this one shows it. The receiver retains deep factory blue overall including on the bolt with only some light edge wear. Fine blue on the loading gate and fine screw heads. The lever shows traces of case color in the most protected areas. The barrel and magazine retain most of the blue with only the lightest of age or wear. Exc. markings. Even the forend cap shows fine blue. Buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and W. F. Sheard, Tacoma, Washington and 1900 Patented marked long steel blade/elongated brass bead front sight. Exc. stock and forend with some nice fiddleback grain to the stock. Tight action with strong hammer spring and secure safety half-cock. When I got this one the bore looked dark and heavily frosted. I ran oiled patches, lead-out patches, patches with J-B Bore paste and some clean patches. From beginning to end all came out caked with black crud. I believe the bore will continue to clean to excellent and may remain a bit dark only. Looks to me like it was shot with cast bullets where the bullet lube collected fouling for a long time! This is a really fine and unusual 118 year old 1894.
