No, I'm afraid not.

$900 plus shipping (About $30, USPS Priority) Original 1895 Winchester. .30US/30-40 Krag. Made 1916. 27 inch barrel. Excellent mechanical condition and a good shooter...I have shot this gun within the last 6 months and it is mechanically fine. I have shot both smokeless and black powder in this gun with good results from both. Very good cosmetics...stock is sound with a small surface crack in the wrist. The forearm is a modern replacement custom made to match the age and finish of the rest of the gun. Everything else is 100% original and functioning. Strong patina overall with normal nicks, dings, wear and tear for a 100 year old gun. Barrel has strong rifling with some darkness. Barrel finish is blue towards receiver thinning towards gray at the muzzle. Receiver is blue turning to gray with a mottling. Very pleasing to look at. No rust, no pitting, some freckling as finish turns to gray patina. Nice shootable historic gun. Pictures show it all. This is C&R eligible. Must ship to ffl or C&R. I am a C&R and receiver must be willing to accept from a C&R. $30 shipped Priority mail. Payment by usps MO or personal check if I know you.

Probably bad batteries. I have one and have used it constantly for the last 18 years as I build a lot of guns. Remember, these thing are only to get you on target...and a big target at that. I generally boresight at about 20 yards and then take the first live shot at 20 yards and make final adjustments. From there it should only be elevation adjustments, depending on what distance you want to sight in at.

At this point I'm lucky if I remember to wear pants, let alone buckles.

The 1427 is built on the 54 action. Here's my custom 1427 from my Biathlon days
