REMINGTON HEPBURN SINGLE SHOT OCTAGON SPORTER, 40-70 STRAIGHT CALIBER, #4XXX, MADE 1880s.
Description: REMINGTON HEPBURN SINGLE SHOT OCTAGON SPORTER, 40-70 STRAIGHT CALIBER, #4XXX, MADE 1880s. Nice example with 30" octagon barrel and correct Remington crown (slightly beveled oct. edges) showing that this one hasn't been cut. Exc. Remington markings on the barrel top with correct patent markings on the lower left edge of the receiver. The barrel retains fine blue showing light age only. The caliber marking "40 2 1/2" on the bottom of the barrel ahead of the receiver appears to be an overstamp. The "40" is unaltered but one can see that the "2 1/2" is stamped over "1 7/8" incicating that the chamber has been lengthened from the .40-50 straight to the .40-70 straight. When this was done is unknown and could have been done at the factory if a .40-70 barrel was needed and all that was on hand was a .40-50. No way of knowing, but minor either way. Mostly an uncleaned mottled gray/brown receiver with some small case color by the protected portion under the side lever with some very minor nicks/scratches as one would expect from a hunting rifle- this one came out of here in Montana. Original buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and small blade front sight. Barrel serial number under the forend matches the receiver number. Fine forend with correct metal tip and fine butt stock with correct checkered pistol grip and both with tight wood to metal fit.Tight action and fairly bright bore with fine rifling all the way through and some minor surface corrosion or leading mostly ahead of the chamber that might brush out. Weighs about 10 1/4 lbs. Attractive appearance. SOLD Antique: Yes Rifle Caliber: .40-70 Sharps Straight Manufacturer: REMINGTON Model: HEPBURN Serial Number: 4XXX Barrel Length: 30" OCT. Condition: FINE Bore Condition: FINE |
