Page Lewis Arms Co. Model C Olympic Falling Block 22 LR Rifle Chicopee Falls, Mass C&R

Serial #4660, .22 LR, 24 inch barrel with a fine dark bore with light roughness and strong rifling.  This is the Model C Olympic falling block rifle manufactured in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts by the Lewis Arms Company circa 1920's.  The single shot rifle features a folding Beech type combination front sight, sporting adjustable rear and a flip up tang peep sight.  In near excellent condition the barrel and frame retain about 85-90% of the original blue which has a mottled appearance on the barrel toning in areas to plum-brown with some very light impact marks at the outer muzzle.  The hammer shows much of the original straw color.  The stock is solid with a plugged hole at the wrist and old chips on either side at the metal wood interface and a shallow crack just behind the tang sight and forearm is solid both showing scattered light use marks.  The action functions properly.  A seldom seen single shot rifle that would add to most collections and be fun to shoot.  FFL or C&R
