OE - GOOD - some minor replacement parts; metal smoothly rusted or lightly pitted in places, cleaned; principal lettering, numerals and design on metal legible; lightly scratched, bruised or minor cracks repaired; in good working order.

Description:

The Model 1873 was one of Winchester's most popular lever action rifles and was manufactured from 1873 to 1919. This rifle was manufactured in 1883 and is a Third Model with the guide rail integrally machined to the receiver. The sights have been removed and it has the standard two line address/patent dates on top of the barrel, "MODEL 1873" on the upper tang and serial number on the lower tang. Smooth forearm with a steel end cap and straight grip stock with a steel crescent buttplate with buttstock compartment for a cleaning rod, (rod not included).

Rating Definition:

Good. Finish now a smooth gray patina with some light scattered pitting. The solid wood is good and has matching wear with overall scattered dents, dings and scratches and a couple of small gouges on the rear of the comb. Some of the screws are replaced, one with a rivet. Mechanically needs work, does not always hold full cock.
