Oregonian Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I purchased this a couple of months ago for an engraving project which fell through. It is a nice, original, early 1892 rifle built 1n 1907. Honest use and wear, with a great even patina. It has a 24" round barrel. The bore is not perfect by any means (visible rifling, frosty with some rough areas), but should be serviceable. The wood appears to be original and does not appear to have been refinished. The stock is in very good condtion- with some dings and scratches ( and the initials "RV" carved lightly on the right side near the reciever), but overall very nice! The forend is in good condition- with an old chip on the top left side under the rear sight, and several wear and handling marks. I do not see any evidence of cracks, repairs or refinishing of the wood. The metal has little, if any, original blueing. I believe that the sights, butt plate and other hardware are orginal to the rifle, but I do not have enough expertise to say so definitively (please pm me if you believe otherwise and I can update the listing). I have not fired this rifle, however the action seems to be smooth and tight. Weather permitting I may take it out this weekend and do so. If that happens I will update the listing with a range report and target. $825. I will ship directly from me to your FFL or C&R for $35. If your FFL requires it to be shipped via my FFL add another $15 to the purchase price. Please feel free to ask questions and I will be glad to answer to the best of my ability.
