This rifle was manufactured in 1894, the second year of production in this model. It features a special order, probably one of a kind, 32" full round barrel with a magazine that is 2-1/4" shy of muzzle. It is chambered for the .32-40 cartridge but has the special smokeless steel barrel stamp. In addition, the rifle has the long range tang rear sight. Rifle retains virtually all of the blue finish on barrel and tube. The frame and lever retain all of the brilliant case colors. Screws still retain most of the fire blue finish. Stocks are near mint with most of the original finish as well. Action is perfect. Strong bore.
