Description:
Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle in 32-20WCF
This is a Winchester Model 1873 Rifle in 32-20WCF. It has a 24" full octagon barrel and full length magazine tube. It has walnut stocks crescent butt plate with trapdoor, buckhorn rear barrel sight and blade front sight.
Condition:
The condition of this Winchester 1873 rifle is very good overall. The barrel and magazine of this 1899-made rifle have toned to a smooth brown patina overall, with a more gray-brown displayed along the rear third of the barrel and high edge silvering overall. The bore rates fine with bright almost excellent rifling displaying subtle frosting. The action has toned to an even gunmetal gray with smoothed high edges, oxidation staining persisting in areas, and a generous amount of thinning blue along the lower tang. The cartridge lifter displays a pleasant ocher patina with the caliber engraving showing well. The dust cover closes securely but exhibits some side-to-side play. The straight grip walnut stock rates very good and fore end rates excellent. The hammer, lever, and trigger have toned to a smoky gray patina with light pitting here and there, and the lever hangs low and loose. The screws show light slot wear overall. The stock and fore end show some light handling marks, and a 1 1/2” crack on either side of the toe. The stock appears to have once been embellished with decorative metal studs that have been removed. This is based on the holes and circles surrounding them along either side or the toe line. The original markings on the barrel, including the two-line address remain strong, while the model marking on the upper tang has softened with only the “1873” remaining. The rifle is sighted with a factory semi-buckhorn sporting rear, and German silver sporting front. Certainly a serviceable and accessible example of the iconic Model 1873 in .32 WCF at a very good price.
