WTS...Military rifle collection..M1882 Remington-Lee Army Trials rifle
I am going to sell most of my military rifle collection. I have some very nice M1903's, Krags, and Trapdoors. I will post them on this forum before listing on GUN BROKER. The next rifle that I have for sale is a M1882 Remington-Lee bolt action Army Trials rifle in 45-70 caliber. It is one of only 500 rifles ordered by the Army for test and evaluation. I'm not sure of the results of the tests, but the Navy adapted an improved version, the M1885 Remington - Lee Navy. This rifle has most of the finish on the metal parts although the case colors have faded somewhat on the receiver. The stock appears to have been sanded with some type of finish applied. The bore is very nice and shiny with strong rifling. Comes with the bayonet and scabbard as shown. The bayonet appears to be the standard bayonet as issued with the 45-70 trapdoor, but the scabbard is of a slightly different construction. I can not find where another one has sold to get an idea of the value, but I would like to get $1800.00 plus shipping. If you would like pictures of a detail that my pictures do not show please let me know.rl1882-1 (640x480).jpgrl1882-2 (640x480).jpgrl1882-3 (640x480).jpgrl1882-4 (640x480).jpgrl1882-5 (640x480).jpg
