Click on images for enlarged versions.

serial #132132, 40-82 WCF, 22" round barrel with full magazine with a very good bore. This is a nice honest carbine. The barrel and magazine retain about 70% original blue finish which is thinning evenly and mixing with a pleasing smooth brown patina where finish has worn. The action retains about 40% original blue with the balance bearing a pleasing smooth and even gray brown patina. Case color on hammer and lever is about 50%. The plain walnut stocks rate excellent with a little light oil added. Carbine is equipped with Beach combination front sight, carbine rear and Lyman folding tang peep sights. Factory records confirm that this shipped as a carbine in 40/82 on September 29, 1905 after being in the warehouse for ten months. Overall a nice honest example of the desirable 1886 SRC.
