SPECIAL ORDER WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 WITH 30 INCH BARREL IN 32 WCF

Description:
Special order 30 inch octagon barrel chambered in 32 WCF caliber with a shiny bore that has some light frosting. Sights include a Beech's combination front and sporting rear. Barrel and full length magazine tube are a blue fading to brown with slight edge wear to the octagons. Receiver has thinning blue fading to brown. Hammer and lever are brown. Loading gate is a blue/gray. Crisp functioning action. Walnut stock set is in good condition with some added finish over the handling and usage marks. Rifle style buttplate. Extra length barrels are hard to find and this one is 6 inches longer than standard. I see a lot more 32 inch barrels than I see the 30 inches. This Winchester rifle that was made in 1898 is sure to fill a hole in someones collection.
