Winchester Model 1873, .22 short cal. lever action rifle. Serial #243414B, mfg. 1887. Antique. Third Model. Very good condition. Dandy .22 cal. '73 which will really round out your vintage Winchester lever collection! 24" octagon barrel has a good++ barrel which is rare to find in the .22 short caliber due to the black powder. Stock appears to have been sanded long ago - just a couple of marks. Crescent butt. Barrel and magazine tube have 85% fading blue which is nice. Receiver is mostly gray with some fading blue in protected areas. Dust cover. Operates nicely. Some tap marks on brass breech bottom. Some of the frame screws are slightly burred.
