FINE,
ANTIQUE SERIAL NUMBER 1895 OCTAGON RIFLE, .45-90, MADE 1896.
Description: VERY FINE CONDITION, EARLY ANTIQUE SERIAL NUMBER 1895 OCTAGON RIFLE, .45-90 CALIBER, #141847, MADE 1896. This was the biggest caliber offered in the Model 1895 and one of the most desirable. The receiver has naturally aged to a slightly mottled dark color, the 26” barrel retains fine deep blue with the magazine tube mixing more plum and brown and one small area on the right side of the mag tube ahead of the forend cap that looks like it once had some old rust on it and was wiped off- old and blends in well. All screw heads are excellent and look like they haven‘t been turned, near excellent bore had deep rifling all the way through with any scattered roughness very minor and might scrub out. Original buckhorn rear sight with factory Rocky Mountain blade front, fine wood with very tight wood to metal fir and only the butt stock appears to have very light surface rasp marks on it which is odd as the wood to metal fit is so good and it doesn’t look like a replacement. I carefully removed the butt plate and it is numbered to the gun. It is very surface and only visible when the light hits it a certain way- a bit baffling and I wonder if it left the factory that way but had stock finish on it that filled any fitting marks? Either way, it is very minor and if one wanted to, it would be easy to do a little fine sanding and refinishing. I’d leave it as is. Tight action with light trigger pull and a good safety notch in the hammer. A difficult model to find especially in .45 caliber.
