Description: FINE CONDITION BIG 1881 28” OCTAGON RIFLE IN DESIRABLE 45-70, #11XXX, MADE 1885. This one came from right out of here in Montana, shows fine blue on the receiver sides with normal edge wear, light scratching etc. that one would expect from a frontier .45-70 that is 133 years old! Fine thinning barrel blue, mag tube a mixture of gray/brown with some blue in the protected areas, all excellent markings including the correct “45 GOVT” caliber marking on the barrel top just ahead of the receiver. Surprisingly fine bore is only a little dark with deep rifling and should clean out to be about exc., fine butt stock with original steel butt plate shows the beginnings of a crack coming forward from the bottom butt plate screw (typical of dry wood) and has one very small sling swivel hole, also fine forend with only a hint of the usual crack that forms on these ahead of the sliding loading gate where the wood is thin, overall good, solid wood showing only normal handling and no abuse and tight wood to metal fit, original buckhorn rear sight and Rocky Mountain blade front sight. An attractive early rifle that still shows a lot of blue. SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: MARLIN Model: 1881 OCT. RIFLE Serial Number: 11XXX Caliber Info: .45-70 Condition: FINE Barrels: 28" OCT. |
