Remington Hepburn 45-70 Number 3 Sporting & Target Rifle
Description: This Listing from a Family Collection of Shooting Sports Enthusiasts is a Used Remington Hepburn Sporting Rifle in 45-70 Caliber that appears to be an Original No. 3 Sporting & Target Model. It has a (nominal) 28-Inch Full Octagon Barrel marked on the top flat: “E. Remington & Sons. Ilion, N.Y.” with Serial Number 45XX barely visible on the bottom tang. Double-Set Triggers and all mechanical functions feel tight and are fully functional. The bottom flat of the barrel is marked just ahead of the forend: “45 . 7”. The Wood is dark with age and shows uneven loss of a glossy finish that must have been applied long ago. Fortunately, the wood appears in decent condition underneath. The Buttstock carries a Standard Blue Steel Curved Buttplate and Prince-of-Wales Style Pistol Grip that’s Border-Checkered, albeit worn. The Wood to Metal Buttstock-Receiver junctions have preserved transitions. The Barrel has a Drift-Adjustable Front (Brass) Blade Sight, and a buckhorn rear sight that may or may not be original. This rifle has a non-checkered Forend with the typical, graceful Steel Schnabel Tip. The bore has some pitting, but the rifling is preserved, making the rifle in firing condition, as shown in the photos. The entire rifle appears to have been blued and/or reblued a long time ago – leaving none of the case coloring on the receiver. Bluing wear is uneven with more blemishes on the left side of the receiver and barrel, possibly from storage before it was acquired by the Estate. Condition is best judged from the photos – so please ask any questions or request additional information before purchase as this item will be costly to return owing to CA re-registration and other regulations. Any refunds will be minus our actual shipping cost and FFL fees after buyer pays return shipping. The listed price Includes Insured Ground Shipping from a CA FFL Dealer to yours. Payment is by Money Order, Bank (Certified) Check or Personal Check (held 2-3 days). We are the Estate Executor and Trustee, not a dealer, and cannot handle credit card or electronic payments. This item is subject to prior sale. SOLD Rifle Caliber: .45-70 Government Manufacturer: Remington Model: Hepburn Serial Number: 45XX Barrel Length: 28 Inch Metal Condition: Refinished |
