Winchester Model 1894 Rifle in .30 WCF built in 1901

Serial #216742, .30 WCF (.30-30), 26" octagon barrel with a good-very good bore that has even freckling within the grooves.  This is a 1901-made rifle that has 90-92% of the original blue remaining on the barrel and magazine tube, with silvering at the muzzle and along the edges of the barrel facets, as well as some tiny spots of mild surface freckling along its length.  The receiver and forend cap have a mottled pewter gray and plum-brown patina with some blue still present along the sides of the frame, while the lever and hammer have a mixed gray and brown patina that still has traces of original bright color case-hardening on protected areas.  The rifle is fitted with a carbine type rear ladder sight mated to a more recent sporting bead front sight blade.  The walnut forend and buttstock are in fine condition, with some minor handling marks and surface blemishes scattered about the original oil finish.  The crescent steel buttplate has an overall mottled bright gray and plum-brown patina.  This is a handsome Model 1894, and is in very good-fine condition overall.  FFL or C&R
