(NSN) , 30-40 Krag, 29 1/2" Winchester barrel with an excellent bore.  This is a takedown frame, with a replaced Winchester barrel which appears to have been rechambered to 30-40 Krag.  The metal surfaces retain about 99% hot immersion blue.  The gun has been nicely restocked in English walnut.  Buttstock is Monte Carlo style with a rollover, rounded cheekpiece with shadowline, it features a lovely rosewood grip cap and nicely checkered panels which are accented by carved and stippled foliate bordering.  Forend is a semi-beavertail style also with a rosewood forend tip with a nicely checkered wraparound pattern also featuring carved matted accents.  The barrel's original dovetail slots are empty, the gun has been drilled and tapped for steel target blocks which support a nice Lyman super Targetspot 20X rifle scope with an adjustable objective and crosshair reticle with excellent optics.  Comes equipped with a single set trigger.  This is a well-made gun which would be fun for target or for shooting Whitetails or Muleys from the comfort of your deck.  (1915-52) [Ray Day Collection]   (1500/2500) SOLD FOR $1840.00
