Description:
With a serial #535070, and caliber of 45-70 Govt., and a 29 1/2” barrel with a mostly bright good bore showing some light oxidation and light pitting in the rifling. The metal surfaces are toning to a gray patina, the hammer and breechblock having been buffed bright with overall scattered areas of softened light pitting which is perhaps a bit more moderate on the underside of the muzzle, light handling and spots of light oxidation. All metal markings are clear with the lockplate dated 1863. The American black walnut stock rates perhaps very good as lightly cleaned with a crack in the left side of the toe and a thin flexing crack on the left wood line, a chip ahead of the triggerguard and in the left side of the forend ahead of the action and some overall light handling marks. There is a large “X” carved on the left side of the buttstock, and there is a softened yet clear 1892-dated cartouche on the left stock flat and the remnant of a circled “P” firing proof behind the triggerguard. The lock screw escutcheons, rear barrel band spring pin and cleaning rod are missing, the front sight has been modified, the rear sight is intact though the ladder is slightly bent and the action remains strong and crisp. This rifle has the earlier two-piece triggerguard with sling swivel as well as the Metcalf upper band with stacking and sling swivels and falls within the range provided (this exact serial number is not listed through its immediate predecessor is) by Springfield Research Service of Model 1884 Cadet rifles issued in 1900 to the University of South Dakota.When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
