Remington-Lee Model 1899 Factory Sporter – .30-40 Krag – 4-Lug Action

Remington-Lee Model 1899 Factory Sporter, chambered in the classic .30-40 Krag, Serial #75155.

This is one of the later and improved versions of the Remington-Lee design, featuring the four-locking-lug bolt, representing the final major improvement to the Lee action.

The rifle is in good overall condition, with a good bore and good, functioning action. A solid, honest example of an original Remington sporting rifle.

One of the more interesting features is the rare Lyman rear striker sight, which adds both to its functionality and collector appeal.

Highlights:

• Remington-Lee Model 1899

• .30-40 Krag
• Serial #75155
• 4-locking-lug bolt/action – later improved version

These Remington-Lee Factory Sporters are not something you run across every day, and the later four-lug action combined with the Lyman sight makes this an especially interesting example for the Remington/Lee collector.

A great old rifle with some neat history behind it, and a very interesting alternative to the more commonly encountered military Remington-Lee rifles.
