This special order rifle features 2" longer than standard barrel (28"), deluxe checkered pistol grip walnut stock with rifle butt, Winchester black composite grip cap. Features full octagon barrel, full magazine, Winchester sporting sights, blued finish, case colored frame, hammer and lever. CONDITION: Barrel is basically a smooth, clean brown patina with razor sharp edges and legends. Magazine tube is basically the same with flashes of blue. Case colored forend cap has nickeled out with some freckling. Frame colors have nickeled out with patina and visible striations on right side. Traces of color on hammer; lever and buttplate have patinated out. Wood is excellent, proud to metal with usual dings and checkering is wearing a bit thin. Fine action. Strong, well defined rifled bore with light frosting and a hint of abrasion. This is a prime example of an attic found rifle that was well used but cared for, and scarce with the 28" barrel.
