I just picked up a beautiful rifle with a whole bunch of special order features...

Rifle1/2 octagon barrel

matted

1 pound extra heavy.

Set trigger

1/2 magazine 5 cartridges

checked stock pistol grip

shotgun butt

oil finish.

Sling and swivel

oval silver name plate in fore-arm 1″ long

Length of stock 14″,

Lyman wind gauge, set screw in front sight

no rear sight seat.

It is in excellent original condition with a bright bore. I got a box of ammunition with it, loaded with jacketed bullets, from Buffalo Arms. I think I will pull the bullets and reload them with cast bullets...






I never considered myself a failure...I started out at the bottom and happen to like it here!

I say again cool beans man! Is that a 22" barrel?

Yes, it is a 22 inch barrel...

[what a great rifle and with all those special features I'm envious, we don't see the likes of those here in the U K these days. Hope it gives you as much pleasure on the range where they need to be to fully enjoy them!

Took it out shooting the other day...

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

That is an exquisite example of an '86!  The matted checkering on the top of the barrel is another rare, special-order feature.  Is it the whole length of the barrel?

Beautiful in every regard. Thank you for sharing.
