Item Description: Translate description
serial #117381, 38-55, 28” heavy round George C. Schoyen barrel with a bright excellent bore showing crisp Schoyen nine-groove rifling. The barrel retains about 92% original maker blue showing some overall light oxidation speckling and fading, a few areas along the underside with a bit more noticeable old oxidation and some cleaned pinprick pitting. The action retains about 96% nice quality period rust blue with some oxidation along the lever and the polished top of the breechblock with some attractive burnishing. The barrel shows “GEO.C.SCHOYEN” markings with “DENVER.COLO” address and no other apparent markings. The checkered capped pistolgrip deluxe walnut buttstock and heavy forend with slight schnabel and horn tip insert remain in very fine condition, the forend with a couple of small repairs along its edges, some scattered light dings and a hairline crack at the upper tang. The stock varnish is developing craquelure and the buttstock features left-side cheekpiece and nice grain figure throughout. The helm buttplate is numbered “3947” on its inside toe while the inside left lower tang shows assembly number “915” and there is no apparent number on the stock, it otherwise retains very nice fit at the tangs. The barrel is equipped with a set of target blocks that hold a Lyman 438 Field riflescope that shows a bit of moderate oxidation along its exterior, with crosshair reticle and very cloudy optics. The rifle is also sighted with a short-range tang sight and globe front sight with square post insert. The action with double set triggers seems to function normally. A very attractive rifle in a desirable configuration with its fine Schoyen barrel. (13C11483-5) {C&R} (4000/6000)
