1894 SRC 925581 38-55 (wish I had bought this one!)

Bert,My question is, how scarce is a ’94 rifle with a half octagon with a full magazine? I saw one at a local show that was a strong 80% plus at 2k. I did not pick up as I might have wanted it.

This configuration is not really scarce and I don’t think there was much interest in them. I have a real nice, # 348731 in 38-55, that letters as in the whse. for 5 1/2 years. PR date was 1907. Shipped late 1912. Rifle is a good, strong ,92%, with unturned screws. Also has a minty bore, unusual they say, for a 38-55. I think the 2K price was not out of line. Bore consideration a factor. Might have been a good investment. Big Larry

Mike,
Can you provide additional details on each of them?

Saw another SRC today, 865135 30WCF
I have a few notes but wasn’t well organized yesterday and didn’t get as much info as you probably wanted. I remember the barrel lengths but not much else.

Mike,
Barrel lengths, magazine tube lengths, and any non-standard features.

Nothing non-standard that I recall. Rifles 26″, carbines 20″ with carbine sights and butt plates. Can’t recall any short mags in this group but at this point I can’t say. Only non-standard sight was a late model Marble rear on one of the rifles. The SRC I looked at today was full length mag.
The 38-55 SRC belongs to Bob Eder, I can call about the mag length. I don’t know the owners of the other guns.
I’m sorry, will try to be better organized next time.
