Western Firearms

SMF5542 - – 19769 – HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON MODEL 676 .22 LR/ .22 MAGNUM CALIBER REVOLVER WITH SCARCE 12 INCH “BUNTLINE” BARREL - This comes with an extra .22 magnum cylinder. Serial number AP77829 made in 1976. Harrington & Richardson made nice quality gun, and there is growing collector interest in them, especially those made before 1986 when the company changed ownership. From 1976 to 1980 they offered the Model 676, a “western” styled revolver that can be fired double action or single action, and has the traditional side mounted ejector and loading gate. These were made with an attractive color case hardened frame, blued barrel and cylinder, and man-sized walnut grips.

This example is in excellent condition with 95-97% original finish, showing just a bit of wear and thinning and a drag line on the cylinder. Grips with a few insignificant blemishes. Excellent bore and mechanics. A nice item to get started in collecting H&R revolvers, or (if a competent gunsmith approves it as safe) for a shooter. $325.00 (View Picture)

SMF5796 - 22129 - RUGER NEW MODEL BLACKHAWK, BLUE .45 CALIBER 7 ½ INCH BARREL MADE IN 1977 - Serial number 46-31062 made in 1977. This has the desirable 7.5 inch barrel and looks nearly the same as the venerable and revered Colt Single Action Army, but is mechanically far superior. Like all Ruger guns, these are made of top quality materials, superbly engineered and extremely rugged and reliable with all coil springs instead of the troublesome flat springs originally used by Colt. This model was offered as either a “convertible” with two cylinders, one for .45 Colt and the other for .45 ACP (both marked on the face of the cylinder with the last 3 digits of the serial number), or in a single caliber version with only one cylinder, which was NOT numbered to the gun. This is one made only for .45 Colt.

This belonged to a retired USAF officer who took excellent care of all his guns, and while this has some finish wear on sharp edges of the muzzle and especially around the cylinder, overall it retains about 96-97% original lustrous blue finish. The nice walnut grips have just a few minor scrapes or scratches, nothing bad, but not quite perfect. Excellent bore and mechanics. (Note on these later “transfer bar” Ruger single actions, there is no “half cock or loading” positions for the hammer, only all the way down (safe because of the transfar bar design) or on full cock.

An extremely nice gun that has been used, and cared for, and is ready for someone’s collection (hey it is already 35 years old!) or if your gunsmith approves it as safe to shoot, for fun on the range.

**New Item** SMOF5671 - STEVENS PUMP ACTION “VISIBLE LOADER” MODEL 70 .22 CALIBER RIFLE- NICE! Serial Number E863 (which is actually more of a “batch or assembly” number than a serial number, but it is the number assigned by the maker back in the day). The Stevens Model 70 manufactured between 1907 and 1934.It was the first pump-action made by Stevens and had an estimated production of 100,000. There were many variations manufactured of the Model 70. This is the standard configuration with blue barrel and case- hardened receiver and 3/4 length magazine.

These are one of the more interesting historical rimfire rifles. Basically is was a poorly designed attempt to produce a pump action repeater based on the popular Stevens Favorite styling. Although they worked reasonably well when new, they are notoriously unreliable and are often called the "miserable loader.” They are such a NIGHTMARE to repair that when they broke people just began discarding them or tossing them in the closet not to be seen for decades, making good condition examples quite interesting to collectors, especially those smart enough to not try to shoot the darn things or ever take them apart! This one has about 90% finish, unbuggered screws and lightly dinged stock. However, the buttplate does have some pitting and no finish. $250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5447 - 19521 – WINCHESTER MODEL 1894 SADDLE RING CARBINE .25-20 CALIBER MADE IN 1908 - Serial number 466027 made circa 1908. A nice representative example of the classic Model 1894 carbine, one of John M. Browning’s many superb and enduring inventions. This one is a very nice looking gun with 50-60% thinning finish and excellent wood, obviously used a lot but not abused. The bore is dark, with strong but worn rifling, not likely to deliver great accuracy, but (assuming your gunsmith approves the gun as safe to shoot) it should be okay as a plinker, or go ahead and have the barrel relined in the same caliber for another century or so of service. Everything appears to be correct and original and mechanically excellent with unbuggered screw heads, with the following exceptions: The front sight blade has been replaced, and the rear sight is a Marbles type which may or may not be original (these were offered with so many different options it is hard to be sure about anything) that is missing the elevator. The saddle ring is a replacement, but the stud is original. The barrel band screw head is buggered and the hole wobbled a bit. A good looking century old rifle, older than 90% of all Winchester 1894s out there. $1150.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5451 - 19524 - WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 DELUXE TAKEDOWN RIFLE .32-20 WCF, 24 INCH OCTAGON BARREL, CHECKERED STOCK - Serial number 00032MN92Q, one of a 251 gun special run made for Davidsons in 2009 in .32-20 WCF, with 24 inch octagon barrel, checkered pistol grip stock and crescent butt.

These are really handsome and handy rifles, in a very good caliber. The Model 1892 is the scaled down version of John M. Browning’s famous Model 1886 Winchester design, known for their butter smooth action and reliability.

Recently made Winchester Model 1892 rifles are actually made by Miroku in Japan and sold by U.S. Repeating Arms Company, the licensee for Winchester since they closed their New Haven factory in 2006. The recently made guns are superb, with excellent fit and finish, nice quality walnut stocks and a superb high quality blue finish. In my opinion the workmanship is better than most of the Winchesters made at New Haven since the 1950s.

This rifle has the very desirable takedown feature where you can pull down the lever at the front of the magazine tube, twist the magazine to unlock it, then pull it out a bit and turn the barrel 90 degrees and remove it from the receiver. This gives you two pieces about 24 inches long, much easier to pack or ship, or clean. While the gun was invented by John M. Browning, the takedown feature was actually designed by another of Winchester’s inventors/engineers, William Mason. This current production version also includes a tang safety, and rebounding hammer design, but otherwise is just as John Moses Browning designed it. This is an especially handsome rifle, with sleek lines, nice quality wood, sharp checkering and a fantastic blue finish. The 24 inch octagon barrel and crescent butt add to the classic western appearance.

This is flat new in the box, with even the sleeve for the box in near excellent condition. List price on these is $1899, but our price is only $1195.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5450 - 19525 - WINCHESTER MODEL 1895 SADDLE RING CARBINE, .30-40 KRAG CALIBER- NEW IN BOX - Serial number 00031MT95L with 22 inch barrel, and traditional ladder type rear sight and wood handguard. This is the handiest of the Model 1895 types (carbine, rifle or musket) due to its shorter length, and the .30-40 Krag cartridge is a great cartridge well suited to this action.

The 1895 Winchester was designed by John Browning for the new generation of cartridges utilizing smokeless powder and pointed bullets. Traditional tubular magazines for lever action rifles, such as his Models 1886, 1892 and 1894, were impractical and dangerous with pointed bullets or rimless cartridges. The box magazine overcame these problems, and with its quick handling characteristics, box magazine and pointed bullet capability, the Model 1895 changed the world of sporting rifles forever. In .405 caliber, Teddy Roosevelt called his Model 1895 rifle his "Big Medicine." The Model 1895 also saw military use with 10,000 purchased by the U.S. Army in 1898, and Russia buying 300,000 during WW1.

When the Model 1895 was reintroduced around 1999 they added a tang safety and rebounding hammer design, but otherwise it is the same as John M. Browning’s original design. Recently made Winchester Model 1895 rifles are actually made by Miroku in Japan and sold by U.S. Repeating Arms Company, the licensee for Winchester since they closed their New Haven factory in 2006. The recently made guns are superb, with excellent fit and finish, a butter smooth action and nice quality walnut stocks and a superb high quality blue finish. In my opinion the workmanship is better than most of the Winchesters made at New Haven since the 1950s.

This example is flat new in the box, with the box in excellent condition, but the outer sleeve is pretty ratty- scuffed and torn at the ends, so buy the great gun and don’t sweat the box. $1150.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5192 - 17739 - COLT LIGHTNING MODEL MAGAZINE SLIDE ACTION RIFLE (SMALL FRAME) .22 CALIBER- NICE! - Serial number 75011 made in 1903. The Colt Lightning was Colt’s serious attempt to break into the long gun business, starting around 1887. The Lightning rifle was offered in three frame sizes: Small for .22 rimfire; Medium for centerfire calibers .32-20, .38-40 and .44-40; and Large for rifle size calibers such as .38-56, .40-60, .45- 60, .45-65, .45-85 and .50-95 Express. The latter were direct competitors (although unsuccessful) against Winchester’s Model 1876 and 1886 rifles. The small frame .22 was an excellent boys rifle, and useful for plinking, target shooting and small game hunting. The medium frame models were great companions to Colt’s revolvers in the matching calibers. The large frame rifles were suitable for just about any North American medium or large game animals. A total of about 185,000 Lightning rifles of all types were made, nearly half of them the small frame .22 caliber versions. The Lightnings are a somewhat neglected collector niche, receiving more attention now that the Italians are making replicas of them for the Cowboy Actions Shooter market.

This one is a standard configuration rifle with 24 inch octagonal barrel, plain walnut stock with hard rubber butt plate and having only the border lines on the forearm. Blade front sight and fixed rear sight. Excellent bore and mechanics. Stock has a few minor dings and bruises plus a bunch of tiny dings on the left heel of the butt as shown in the photos. Metal parts with about 95% brilliant original Colt factory blue, worn on the sharp edges and high points from normal use. Two tiny chips on the tip of the stock where it meets the frame as shown in the photos. A very handsome example of one of Colt’s important, but often overlooked products. $1750.00 (View Picture)

Western Items

**NEW ADDITION** 20129 OLD WESTERN BRANDING IRON - Rusty old iron with lots of character. These are working irons made by blacksmiths of varying skill and have the head shaped into the owner's (or rustler's?) desired shape. Most are single letters, some with decorative flourishes or additions or the like to make the brand unique. Other end usually a tapered socket to be attached to a wooden handle. (Y’all won't never pick one of them up by the iron part after its bin heated up, at least not more than once!!!) Probably made between the early 1900s and 1940s. A cowboy's whole way of life revolved around the brand marked on his cattle. Great addition to a collection of western guns, art, or just as a decorative accent. $25.00 (View Picture)

19298 Old “Cowboy Holster” black or dark brown - Probably dates to circa 1880-1920, modest quality with decorative tooling on the leather, including two flower type designs. Looks like it was for a medium size revolver about the size of a Colt Lightning or S&W .38 caliber double action. Somewhat cracked and a bit of flaking. Belt slits added, and we suspect this was modified from the type that folded over and then had the tip of the holster stuck through a loop created from the folded over part. Nice decorative “old cowboy” item. $25.00 (View Picture)

19297 Old “Cowboy Holster” brown “ROYAL” - Probably dates to circa 1880-1900, very nice quality with decorative tooling on the leather, including two flower type designs. Looks like it was for a medium size revolver about the size of a Colt Lightning or S&W .38 caliber double action, but night fit a 4 ¾” Single Action Colt. Leather in VG-fine condition showing just honest use. Belt loop has been modified. Name “ROYAL” stamped above the upper flower. Nice decorative “old cowboy” item. $55.00 (View Picture)

19296 Old “Cowboy Holster” rough condition but lots of “character” - Probably dates to circa 1880-1900, very nice quality with decorative tooling on the leather, including two flower type designs. Looks like it was for something like a 4 ¾” or 5 ½” Single Action Colt. Leather in poor condition, very dry and flaking, and the stitching is all gone. Looks like it had some sort of belt loop sewn on at one time, but now holy has slits to form a single loop. Pretty rough, but still an interesting “old” decorative “cowboy” item. $25.00 (View Picture)

19295 Old “Cowboy” (or “outlaw”(?) Shoulder Holster - Probably dates to circa 1900-1930. This is a crude home or ranch made item that looks like it was for something like a 4 ¾” Single Action Colt. Leather in fair condition and ugly from dried saddle soap residue but would look better if cleaned up some. While everyone thinks of cowboys carrying their guns in hip holsters, it was often more comfortable to use a shoulder holster in harsh weather, or after vehicles began to replace horses. Or, maybe this was from some outlaw bank robber, or moonshiner, or…. Pretty rough, but still an interesting “old” decorative “cowboy” or “outlaw” item. $25.00 (View Picture)

10521 OLD HOLSTER- REDHEAD BRAND - Good quality item showing fair amount of honest use. Probably circa 1960s or more recent. Good markings on back with REDHEAD logo, 20 SHD BS, 22 6. Looks to me it would fit a Ruger Bearcat or guns of that general size. $20.00 (View Picture)

10509 U.S. Model 1885 watering bridle and bit for cavalry - (Steffen, Horse Soldier III, 37) Although similar to the later M1902, the M1885 had the bridle sewn to a fixed length, while the M1902 used a buckle to adjust length. Used VG with the leather bridle somewhat stiff and not suitable for actual use. $125.00 (View Picture)
