Description:
UNUSUAL AND RARE SPECIAL ORDER 1894 22” FACTORY SHORT RIFLE WITH EXTRA LIGHTWEIGHT BARREL, TAKEDOWN, HALF MAGAZINE AND SHOTGUN BUTT, .30WCF, #716XXX, MADE 1914. This is a really seldom seen 1894 variant. Importantly, it has the 1” shorter forearm used on short rifles and measures 8 3/8” instead of the standard 9 3/8”. Also, as an extra lightweight barrel the muzzle was too small a diameter to have the front sight dovetailed, so it was put on a very short base sweated to the top of the barrel which was dovetailed to hold the front sight. This example shows excellent barrel and short magazine blue with only a couple of light scratches. Even the forend cap retains good blue. The receiver blue has flaked to a typical mottled brown with good blue mixing- more on the left side. Good blue on the bolt and loading gate. Shows good blue on the unturned receiver screws. Exc. markings, flattop buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar and blade front sight. Stock and forend show tight wood to metal fit and have only light scattered surface handling marks. Retains the Winchester embossed shotgun butt plate. Tight takedown, tight action, strong safety half-cock and excellent sharp bore. A super scarce extra light short rifle takedown made 112 years ago!
