Don't thread the barrel, sand the stock, or refinish anything. In fact, I will say a gun prayer for the rifle if it is in your possession. I think I saw Ridgerunner had some ammo for sale this morning. (32-20 same as 32 WCF)

^^^^ Amen, Thats the Truth

PS: if your considering buying it, I would say if it looks like it works proper and decent cond, BUY it.
Cool Rifle,

Looks like an 1873 to me

Judging by the serial number it is a second model 1873, The major difference between the 3 models appears in the dust cover.

Thank yall for the info. It's my father in laws, it was his father's who hunted and drove cattle from Arkansas to Texas. His great grandfather actually died on a drive from mexico in Uvalde TX. Natural causes, we think. lol. Probably OG cowboy stuff.

Agreeing with the all the information comments previouslyposted. That's definitely an iconic 1873 of some sort. Been part of the Page for 5 months and this is probably the coolest gun I've seen on here! I'm a lever action collector and that Winchester is a beautiful piece of Americana

What condition is the inside of the barrel, These were black powder guns.

Shiny, there is a few slight dings, but for 134 years old not bad.
