Single shot rifle with a target weight barrel, a dovetailed blade front and notch rear sight. The left side of the action is marked "EDWARD MAYNARD" above the patent dates next to "1878". The right side is marked "MANUFACTURED BY/ MASS. ARMS CO./ CHICOPEE FALLS". The tang is mounted with a venire mid-range peep sight. Smooth walnut straight grip stock with a rifle type steel buttplate and no forearm. Complete with an extra 26 inch part octagon smooth bore barrel measuring approximately 20 gauge and marked "7192" with a single brass bead sight.

Good with traces of the faded original blue finish remaining on the installed barrel and some light spotting with a pleasing gray/blue patina overall. There are some light nicks and dings. The extra barrel is very good with 50% blue finish remaining and some small areas of a gray patina developing. The action takedown screw is a replacement and the firing pin is cracked. The wood is ill-fitting around the lower tang but otherwise fine with only minor pressure dents and surface scratches. All markings are clear.
