Description
Iconic Winchester Model 1873 rifle, serial number 98261A, made in 1882. Comes with a 2001 Winchester letter (name and address cut out), which indicates that this example has a factory set trigger (a feature installed on about five percent of 1873 Winchesters). Barrel 28" long. This item can be shipped in-house.
Condition
See images. Nice condition overall, with no apparent issues. Action is smooth and tight. A few bumps on the stock and forearm, but no cracks. Spotty side plate, but no rust or pitting. Barrel is clean, rifling excellent.
