1886 OCTAGON RIFLE IN .38-56 CALIBER, #73XXX, MADE 1892.

Description:
1886 OCTAGON RIFLE IN .38-56 CALIBER, #73XXX, MADE 1892. As I always say, this is a very misunderstood caliber often equated with the less powerful .38-55 cartridge. The .38-56 is simply the .45-70 case necked to accept .377"-.379" bullets and held a full 56 grains of black powder. The .38-55 used the same bullets, but the case only holds about 42-45 grains of black powder- quite a difference. This example shows uncleaned aged blue on the barrel that is mixing with brown. The mag tube is also uncleaned and mostly brown with some blue in the protected extreme upper section below the barrel. The receiver has similarly aged to a soft lightly mottled brown patina with good aged blue on the bolt and loading gate. Stock and forend are fine and solid showing normal light handling with some slight saddle wear to the forearm. Wood to metal fit is tight, some thinning to the comb behind the wrist, but not chipped or cracked, tight action, fine screw heads, bore is a bit dark with good rifling all the way through with some scattered light pitting more to the middle of the barrel, exc. markings, buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and small Rocky Mountain blade front sight. An attrative big 132 year old Winchester.
