Features special order half octagon to round barrel, full magazine, Beech folding front sight, standard sporting Winchester rear sight, blued finish, case colored hammer and lever, walnut stocks and rifle butt. CONDITION: Barrel exhibits generous amounts of original blue as the soft patina gently blends with the remaining finish. Frame retains 85-90% of its lustrous factory blue finish with a hint of patina, some softness on edges, fire blue loading gate. Both hammer and lever retain generous amounts of case colors, none quite brilliant but still there; balance simply patterned out. A lock pin for a tang sight exists but no sight. Wood is excellent with usual minor impressions. Fine action. Bold rifling, albeit the grooves have somewhat frosted.
