HIGH CONDITION 1892 .38-40 ROUND BARREL RIFLE, #203XXX, MADE 1902.

Description:
HIGH CONDITION 1892 .38-40 ROUND BARREL RIFLE, #203XXX, MADE 1902. This is an interesting rifle as there is a rack number “167” neatly and professionally stamped just along the  center of the butt plate on the left side. This usually indicates a prison guard gun, police gun or railroad gun. Regains about all the blue on the barrel and magazine with only the very slightest dulling from age. The receiver also shows excellent deep blue with some thinning on the bottom and some edge wear. Screw heads are excellent and the forend cap shows some good blue.. Even the bolt and receiver ring retain fine deep blue. Fitted with the original buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar showing patent date of 1901, and small Winchester blade front sight. Also fitted with a Lyman marked tang sight with the small folding aperture insert intact and NO extra holes in the tang hiding underneath. Exc. stock and forearm showing the lightest of handling only with tight wood to metal fit. Very light, thin traces of case color on the lever and hammer, tight action, strong safety half-cock and bright, sharp exc. bore. A particularly attractive high condition 124 year old Model 1892.
