It is a good honest gun, but the most unusual feature is the windguage front sight–if that letters, it would be very unusual, & worth several hundred by itself, even if it doesn’t. But the Lyman 1A is a much later addition.
Since the bore is bad, I’d turn it into a Hornet by lining, which wouldn’t require changes to extractor.

A friend of mine put this up on Gunbroker Auction.
Not Gunbroker, Gunrunner, which charges a 10% buyers fee.

It does letter with that sight. Of consideration, that Single Shot rifle was the very first one made in the 22 WCF cartridge. I personally would leave it as is.

Pretty interesting configurations on this one, especially the UN checkered pistol grip. Would this be considered a Semi Deluxe?
No, it is not a “semi deluxe”. Instead, it is a Special Sporting Rifle with plain non checkered stocks.
