Receiver manufactured 1896 per Madis, replacement barrel in .45-70 W.C.F. Included factory letter lists the rifle in .40-82 caliber with an octagon barrel and set trigger when received at the warehouse on 18 October 1895, it also lists "To Russ" in the record as well as being received at the warehouse again on 17 July 1901 and shipped on 15 October 1902 in order number 160754.

Good retaining much of the blue finish on the replacement barrel and otherwise mostly a grey patina, some scattered light pitting, and some scattered minor handling marks and moderate wrist chips in the wood. Mechanically excellent.
