Manufactured 1887. Full octagon barrel with rare seven leaf Express rear sight and Beech front sight. These where very frequently used in the buffalo hunting era are prized by collectors and students of the era alike. Two piece American walnut stock with crescent buttplate. Set trigger and the special sights make this rifle stand out. Good overall with strong rifling with frosted grooves. Factory applied finished have long since gone away and left the rifle an even dove grey with areas of mellow patina in protected areas. The walnut stocks have a contemporary finish applied that is very attractive and almost unnoticeable.
