M73 Rifle, SN151703

M73 Rifle, SN151703

This is a rifle made in 1881 and cartouched SWP/1881 which agrees with the serial number. A careful inspection of the gun fines it to be essentually unissued. The cartouche and circled P are sharp and deep indicating the gun has not had any service wear. Unfortunately the rifle was not cared for and it acquired a number of storage dings over the years. The bluing is strong, the color case is gone from the top of the block, but very strong on the underside. The bore is pristine new with deep and sharp rifling and a very bright surface. The gun should make a GREAT shooter. It has the armory sight mounted with slotless screws and the correct front sight blade.

$925 + S/H
