Manufactured in 1893. This rifle has had the barrel shortened to 20" and the magazine is now half capacity. The forearm is a full size 9 - 3/8" which would indicate it was altered outside the factory. Other features include a German silver tip front sight, semi-buckhorn rear sight, blue finish, walnut stock with rifle butt plate and matching forearm. CONDITION: Fine as altered. The receiver retains a blue-brown patina finish with strong blue on gate and bolt. Barrel is a smooth blue-brown mix with overall high edge wear. Strong early Winchester barrel legend. Stock shows some scattered ding and impressions and not proud to metal so was refinished at one time. Forearm is in commensurate condition. Bore is well defined with light abrasion.
