Project Description

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a pair of 1/3 scale Model 1894 Winchester take down rifles made by Miniart in Moscow, Russia.  Both rifles are blue finished steel with part octagon part round barrels, 3/4 magazines, pinned front sights, standard step elevator elevation adjustable rear sights, checkered hammer spurs, crescent buttplates, functional lever safeties, and deluxe nicely figured forearms and buttstocks.  Both are fully functional, and will feed, chamber, extract, & eject the included dummy cartridges when the action is cycled manually.  Both have the proper barrel address, caliber markings, and upper tang markings laser engraved. The two rifles are cased together, taken down, in a deluxe hinged top walnut casing with push button latch.  The interior is French fit and lined in a red velour.  The case lid is high relief carved in vine & leaf scrolls with a depiction of a flying spread winged eagle with a mountain in the background.  Includes 10 rounds of dummy cartridges with brass cases, copper bullets, and copper primers.  There are a lot of photos of this magnificent set to enjoy.  To my knowledge, there were only four 1/3 scale take down 1894 rifles made by Miniart, the other two in a similar set to this one.  Stock # ES-40.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
