serial #5976, .280 CF, 30” octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore. This rifle is fitted with an unmarked octagon barrel and chambered for some sort of .280”/7mm rimmed bottleneck cartridge. The barrel shows strong original blue throughout, fading to a pleasant blue-gray patina along with some light handling marks. There are three vacant drilled and tapped holes along the top flat along with a pair of target blocks that hold a J. Stevens No. 368 riflescope in Winchester mounts. The scope body shows strong original blue with some fading and the optics are very cloudy. The action is a smoky case-hardened patina showing a few scattered light dings and lovely factory foliate scrollwork along the sides. The lever has been modified with a fully enclosed loop at the top, its edges with some voids or imperfections. The custom smooth walnut schuetzen buttstock and schnabel forend remain in very good condition with a semi-gloss varnish and showing a few minor hairline cracks where the stock meets the action and some other light dings. The nickel-plated schuetzen buttplate shows some gaps, stock features generous left-side cheekpiece and there is a threaded escutcheon on the underside of the forend for a palm rest (not present). The rifle is equipped with double set triggers that seem to function well mechanically. An interesting custom Marlin Ballard. (13B11164-31) {ANTIQUE} [Scott Ashley Collection] (3000/5000)
