Does anyone know what ‘inside finish’ means on a Cody letter?
Here it is listed on a nice 1876 express rifle:

Chris.
They took a little more time to polish the insides removing machining marks and would be finished the same as normal.

Thanks Bob. It would be a pretty rare option I would think.
Are there many 1873s in your survey that have it listed?

A Google search revealed that per Winchester expert and author Herbert Houze, only 175 Model 1876’s had “inside finishing”.
