Project Description

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/2 scale Winchester Model 1894 take down short rifle made by Miniart in Russia. 19 1/8″ long overall with a 10″ octagon barrel of .15 caliber. Taken down, it measures just 10″ long. Fully functional but non-firing. Complete with five rounds of solid brass dummy ammunition that will feed, chamber, extract, and eject when cycled through the magazine. Also includes the instruction pamphlet, and the hang tag. Checkered hammer spur, step adjustable dovetailed rear sight. Dovetailed front sight. Functional lever safety. Beautifully and expertly engraved by master engraver Jim Blair. The left side of the receiver with a round panel scene of a mule deer. Both sides of the receiver bordered in an engraved rope design and scroll corner details. Additional scroll engraving on the lever, nose cap, and buttplate. The engraving is very fine and extremely detailed, and you can just look at it for hours! There is a gold band inlaid into the muzzle end of the barrel and another into the block at the rear of the barrel assembly. The top of the barrel just ahead of the front sight engraved with the proper Winchester barrel address. The left top flat of the barrel at the rear of the barrel engraved with the nickel steel barrel markings and the caliber. The top tang engraved proper Winchester markings. The takedown lever engraved with the proper patent date markings. The serial number 007 engraved into the bottom front of the receiver. Signed by the engraver on the right bottom of the frame. The steel parts are nicely polished and blued. Nicely figured varnished walnut buttstock and forearm. Straight grip buttstock, crescent buttplate, full length magazine. Near mint condition, showing only very minor handling, the loading gate & top buttplate screw blue starting to flake & turn patina brown. The floorplate, buttplate, and the rear sight starting to turn plum. Very few of these take down versions were made and they are getting very difficult to find. A truly beautiful piece with outstanding engraving!  Price Reduced: $2,500.00.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
