A Very DIFFICULT TO FIND heavy Octagon Barrel for the 1873 Winchester rifle in 22 LONG caliber still in GOOD condition. Bluing cover is very goodand rifling is somewhat worn near chanmber but rifling is evident further down the bore - tough to keep these old blackpowder barrels in excellent condition and with markings in the lands. Surface bluing with patina and varies (from 40 - 80 percent) with each barrel, but slow rust bluing option is available. All roll die markings still clealy visible, dovetail edges sharp, and barrel threads in good condition. Barrel has slot undermeath the muzzle for the .22 magazine cap.These are very nice, and it is hard to find ORIGINAL .22 Winchester 1873 barrels.
