Would ONLY consider partial trade for Steyr Scout mk1 rifle in 308 or 223 rem or Browning Buckmark Rifle Sporter 22lr, not interested in anything else!!!
This particular M1892 Service Revolver is manufactured in 1893. Chambered in 8mm lebel caliber(factory rounds are still available such as Fiocchi's 8mm Lebel revolver rounds).Timing and lockup are excellent for an antique, lockup is solid with zero movement. Bore rates good for a vintage revolver with common wear, cylinder walls show average wear. Original grips are in good shape and free of cracks, lanyard ring is intact. Internal components look good. Ejector works well as it should.
Exterior shows well and retains much of it's original finish, as well as the trigger, hammer and loading gate retain much of the original straw yellow finish. An excellent piece of history that dates back more than a century ago. Great for your collection display that is still servicable.However, ALL antiques should be looked at by a professional gunsmith for should you decide to shoot it!!!
Never shot ever since I got it and kept it in display the whole time.
Comes with the accompanying holster and the RCMP documentation proving its antique status. The holster is a bit different than typical 1892 holsters and was likely a private purchase or custom made.
Price OBO but please be reasonable
Shipping included with the exception of shipping insurance, local deals preferred.
No PAL required for purchase but must be 18 years of age to purchase.(Though personally I would strongly prefer a valid PAL holder)
