Marlin Model 1893 Deluxe Lever Action Rifle

Lot # 276 (Sale Order: 276 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
serial #169052, 30-30, 26'' Special Smokeless Steel octagon barrel with full magazine and a bright near excellent bore showing a little bit of mild frosting and crisp rifling throughout. The barrel and magazine of this attractive 1898-made rifle retain about 94-95% original blue showing some sparsely scattered light oxidation staining and some thinning along the magazine to a mild gray-brown patina. The action retains perhaps 70% original case-hardened colors showing some lovely vibrant areas along the right side and tangs still with some remnants of protective lacquer along with muting and toning to pleasant silvery patina and some areas of old oxidation staining scattered about, the left side with a couple small areas of old minor pitting that is unobtrusive. The buttplate has also mostly toned to a nice silvery case-hardened patina showing a few small patches of moderate oxidation. The nosecap and loading gate retain about 90% original bright blue, some of the screw heads show light slot wear otherwise with strong blue and the sides of the trigger show lovely fire blue. All markings remain intact and strong and the Climbing Lyman rear sight shows flaking bright blue. The checkered walnut pistolgrip buttstock and forend remain in very fine condition retaining about 95% original finish showing a very tiny drying crack at the upper tang, some scattered light dings and small areas of mild discoloration. The checkering shows light overall wear, the right side butt shows some subtle attractive grain figure and stock fit remains excellent overall. The rifle is sighted with the aforementioned Climbing Lyman receiver sight (missing flip-up fine aperture insert), standard sporting rear sight and Beach combination front with fine post and ivory bead. The action seems to function well mechanically. A very handsome rifle in the most versatile of chamberings and antique to boot. (13B8824-2) {ANTIQUE} (2000/3000)

Rare & Fine Winchester Model 90 Deluxe Slide Action Rifle

Rare & Fine Winchester Model 90 Deluxe Slide Action Rifle

Lot # 277 (Sale Order: 277 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 4,000High Estimate: 5,000
serial #775241, 22 LR, 24" octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is an attractive rather late-production rifle made around 1928 that shows matching assembly numbers "10917" on the lower tang and buttstock along with "XXX" deluxe wood grade on the lower tang and the inside toe of the buttplate also with ''917''. This rifle shows an excellent refurbishment, no doubt factory-done by Winchester likely in the late 1940's / early '50's as the finish quality is indicative of that time period; all of the markings including the factory proofs remain absolutely crisp and clear. The rifle retains about 95% factory blue with most of the loss due to some scattered small specks of loss toning to gray along the length of the barrel, some faint speckling along the sides of the action and minor handling marks. Some minute imperfections beneath the finish are noted under close inspection but they are unobtrusive. The front edge of the frame shows factory inspection marks with a ''1'' in a triangle and a ''39''. The checkered capped pistolgrip deluxe walnut buttstock and grooved forend remain in near excellent condition showing a masterfully-executed careful refinish with just a few scattered light handling marks, two small hairline grain cracks on the right side butt and very slight gaps where the stock meets the frame. The checkering remains intact and strong and both the buttstock and forend show wonderful grain figure throughout. The rifle is equipped with proper ''LR'' marked cartridge carrier and sighted with a Marble's tang peep sight, the iron sight dovetail shows a Marble's blank and the front is a No. 3 brass bead. The action seems to function well mechanically. A lovely rifle in a handsome configuration and very desirable chambering. (13C9917-8) {C&R} (4000/5000)

Winchester Model 1892 Trapper Carbine

Winchester Model 1892 Trapper Carbine

Lot # 278 (Sale Order: 278 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 3,000High Estimate: 5,000
serial #889732, 44 WCF, 14'' barrel with an about very good bore which shows strong rifling but with some scattered pitting which is for the most part rather light. The metal surfaces retain about 98% of a good quality polished blue, showing one small area at the front left carry area of the receiver with a bit of light pitting and a bit of light pitting on the right side front of the rear band. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend rate very fine to near excellent showing a bit of added finish but they appear un-sanded, the wood being proud of the metal for the most part. What appear to be the original open sights are intact as-is the left side saddle ring. The arm comes with a BATFE letter exempting it from the provisions of the NFA by serial number. A very attractive little 1919-manufactured Trapper that would likely still spin a bullet very well, especially cast projectiles. (3C9854-2) {C&R} (3000/5000)

Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle

Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle

Lot # 279 (Sale Order: 279 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
serial #82452, 38 W.C.F., 24" octagon barrel with full magazine and an excellent bright bore showing a few tiny pits and crisp evident rifling. The barrel and magazine tube retain about 97% original blue, loss due to very light wear along the high edges, muzzle and magazine cap, also showing its share of tiny light scratches, dings and spots of fine oxidation. The receiver retains about 85% original blue flaking to brown primarily with thin striations on the sides and bottom metal, along with sparse fine oxidation staining, thin edge wear with a patch of wider wear along the top left rear corner of the receiver. The hammer is muting to a soft gray case-hardened patina, the colors quite strong on the sides and base of the spine while the lever is toning to a smoky gray-brown patina with traces of fading colors along the protected areas of the shoulder. The nosecap retains strong original blue flaking lightly to brown, the buttplate has toned to mottled gray patina with patches of brown and scattered fine oxidation. The plain straight grip American walnut buttstock and forend remain in near excellent condition with light oil staining along the buttplate, the expected dents and handling marks from the years, retaining much original varnish. Rifle is sighted with an original flattop v-notch sporting rear sight and fixed German silver blade front sight. The gun functions well mechanically and with its excellent bore would likely spin a bullet very well while still maintaining monetary value. (5B9938-32) {ANTIQUE} [Bill Reese Collection] (2000/3000)

The factory myrtlewood stock with right-side cheekpiece, pattern #9 checkering and pattern #13b inlays on the belly and both side flats is excellent. The wood's deep red color is fantastic, this color coupled with the large ebony tip and the Pattern #33 elephant inlay in the left-side butt make this a stand-out and likely one-of-a-kind giant bore hunting rifle. Included are a set of vertically-split 1'' rings with mounts and the rifle is sighted with an adjustable flip-up rear sight and a small bead front sight.

Scarce and Extremely Desirable Heckler & Koch PSG-1 Semi-Auto Rifle

Scarce and Extremely Desirable Heckler & Koch PSG-1 Semi-Auto Rifle

Lot # 300 (Sale Order: 300 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 12,000High Estimate: 18,000
serial #D0309, 7.62 NATO, 25 1/2'' free-floated polygonal-rifled target barrel with a bright excellent bore. Developed for elite counter-terrorism units after the 1972 Munich Olympics, the PSG-1 was touted by H&K as the most accurate semi-automatic rifle in the world as each had a minimum accuracy requirement of 1 MOA and had to be able to place 50 shots into a three inch circle at 300 meters or the rifle would be rejected. The metal surfaces of this 1985 date-coded rifle retain 99% original black enamel finish with the slightest silvering at the muzzle and just a few light handling marks. The factory stippled walnut pistolgrip with right hand thumb rest, palm swell and adjustable palm rest rates excellent with perhaps a faint handling mark or two. The black polymer flat-bottomed handguard with accessory slot and fully-adjustable clubfoot stock with rubber recoil pad also rate excellent. The rifle features a variable width trigger with a crisp 3 lbs. break and short reset, reenforced receiver for rigidity, bolt forward-assist to ''silently'' close the action, and an integral scope mount holding a Hensoldt 6x42mm scope. The ZF6x42PSG1 scope (serial #89077) is permanently attached to its mount and features an illuminated crosshair reticle and bright excellent optics and remains in excellent condition retaining about 98-99% original black enamel with a few light handling marks. The illumination has not been tested as the scope will need fresh batteries, the original rubber objective lens cover has detached and is included while the screw-in rubber eye-piece remains in excellent condition. Also included is the original factory metal hardcase with hard foam cutouts that perfectly fit the following factory accessories: Loga Systems Garbini tripod and adjustment tool, cleaning kit and one-piece rod, sling, stock adjustment tool, key for case, four Parkerized steel magazines (two 20-round, two 5-round), original factory manual and data sheet, scope data sheet, and factory test target showing a 3'' seven-shot group at 300 meters. It is estimated that only about 400 PSG-1 rifles were imported into the U.S. from West Germany before importation ceased in 1989 making these rifles not only highly desirable but very scarce as well. This is a wonderful opportunity to add the legendary PSG-1 to your advanced precision rifle or Heckler & Koch collection. (23E1006-8) {MODERN} (12000/18000)
