Winchester 1895 Flatside 38-72

Winchester 1895 Flatside 38-72
Rare octagon barrel configuration.
All metal a mellow olive color.
Only 5000 of the 1895s were made in the "flat side" style - all in 1895-96 so this is an antique.
Totally original so not perfect - the barrel edges are rough but I just couldn't have it restruck, leaving any restoration to the next owner.
These Flat Sides are super cool rifles!
$3000 + actual shipping

Neat old rifle! Curious as to how many rounds these hold down in the magazine?

Four in the magazine and one chambered.

A couple more days before it goes to GB.
I don't think there's a lower priced flatside on the market.

BTW, this is an antique so can ship directly to a US buyer!

Definitely a COOL old flatside... I just can't afford it right now... Too many other irons in the fire right now.
Cheers!
