~~~SOLD~~~ A VERY NICE First Model 1890, with a serial number of 7343 that places this rifle in the second year of production, in early February of 1891. Bore is IMMACULATE on this rifle, bright and shiny and still with strong rifling. Bluing remains on the barrel and looks to have been touched up at some point as there are a few old marks on lower magazine and receiver. Wood is in very good condition with hardly any handling marks, and the walnut stock to a curved metal butt plate. The barrel has a correct length of 24 3/8 inches and the roll die marking has an imperfect D in the word manufactured which is also correct for this very early production rifle. Sights are Winchester factory originals with the front a sporting blade and rear a fixed block notched sight. Here is an opportunity for the Serious Winchester Collector to own a rare early First Model rifle. This firearm can be shipped directly to the person who purchases this rare rifle.
