Just bought a 1889

Post by schtoolee »

I recently bought a 1889 Deluxe rifle on Gunbroker and would like to know what the records say. It has a 24" 1/2 oct barrel with full mag and it is a 38-40.
A better grade wood pistol grip stock with B grade checkering and crescent buttplate.
It also has a casehardened receiver with a loop mounted in the correct location for a saddle ring, but the ring is missing. Ser# 41272
It looks all correct, and the lower tang and receiver match, but still would like to know.

Thank you in advance

Schtoolee;

Yep, that is what it is. No mention of sling swivels or a saddel ring though. Shipped early 1890.
Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

The growing federal deficit = generational slavery to the national debt.

If the world was perfect.......it wouldn't be.
