I don't see why it wouldn't be shootable. Locks up tight. (reply)

I'll see if I can get anyone to check it for sure today. You're in line.

4 groove, looks okay, can see rifling from throat to muzzle. (reply)

Story on this is that it was pulled out of a closet when cleaning out the house of a deceased father-in-law.

I'll buy it if iot's a shooter. (reply)

Looks like a Buffington rear sight. How is the bore? Might know of someone interested if its shootable.

From what I can find out about it, serial number puts it at 1885 mfg. It appears to be a rifle that had a carbine barrel put on it. There are OLD vice marks on the barrel, but they match the patina on the rest of it. No front sight.

It's an antique, so I can mail it to you. Is $400 out of line?

I'm going to drag it around with me today, see if I can learn anything more about it. I have a couple items on layaway, might try to trade it. Email me at 5shot44@gmail.com if interested.
