Description:

Manufactured in 1886. The accompanying factory letter lists this rifle with an octagon barrel in .40-60 caliber, casehardened frame, plain trigger (currently has a set trigger) and checkered pistol grip stock when it was received in warehouse on July 22, 1886 and shipped the same day. The letter lists a return and repair date (Sept. 22, 1899). The extra long 28 inch barrel (not documented in the letter but probably installed when it was returned in 1899) has dovetailed blade and folding ladder rear sights and is marked with the two-line address/patent dates and "CAL 40-60." The cartridge elevator is marked "40-60," and the upper tang is marked "MODEL 1876." The pistol grip stock features a hard rubber factory grip cap and buttplate with trapdoor. A 5-piece sectional steel cleaning rod is included. The left side of the lower tang is marked "2622 XXX." The butt is marked "622." The buttplate is marked "0/2622."

Rating Definition:

Very fine as factory refurbished. The barrel, magazine, forearm cap and lever retain 95% blue and 80% casehardened finishes. The hammer, frame and buttplate retain 85% case colors and 40% blue finish remains on the dust cover. The buttstock is fine with a number of minor dings and scratches and some wear in the checkering. The forearm was re-checkered. Mechanically excellent.
