SPECIAL ORDER 1894 .32-40 ROUND BARREL HALF MAG. RIFLE, #180XXX, MADE 1903.
Description: SPECIAL ORDER 1894 .32-40 ROUND BARREL HALF MAG. RIFLE, #180XXX, MADE 1903. It is a little known fact that a number of early riflemen knew that rifles with half magazines tended to be more accurate than those with full mags. This is because a full length magazine loaded with cartridges hanging off the bottom of the barrel changed the "harmonics" of the barrel with each shot as the weight changed with the movement/reduction of cartridges. Interestingly, Theodore Roosevelt who was a very savvy rifleman ordered almost all of his Winchesters with half magazines. This example in scarce .32-40 caliber shows some good aged blue mainly on the left rear of the receiver panel and on the loading gate with the balance aged to mainly brown. Similarly, the barrel blue has thinned and is now mainly an aged brown. Markings are excellent, fitted with a buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and small blade/bead Lyman front sight patent marked October 6, '95. Stock is fine with some staining around the butt plate and light handling marks only. The forend shows very light handling. Tight action with strong safety half-cock. Bore is only a little dark without pitting and good rifling. An interesting 122 year old 1894 in a very scarce caliber. Rifle Caliber: .32-40 Winchester Manufacturer: WINCHESTER Model: 1894 SPECIAL ORDER Serial Number: 180XXX Barrel Length: 26" ROUND Condition: VG Bore Condition: FINE+ Price: $1,395.00 Contact Seller |
