Local gun store had this one. I believe it’s from 1926. Sights are not original but the bore is nice. Cant wait to shoot her.

As soon as I saw the title of this thread, I knew it was authored by a wise person.

Nice looking carbine.  Have fun shooting it!

Tony-

Tell her at least two of us agree and are just a little jealous. If that tang sight was added they at least had the good judgement to add a folding rear sight. What makes you think the sights are not original? I can’t tell you why I’m a fan of firearms with a 32 bore but I seem to be drawn to the 32WCF, 32-40 and the 32WS. Well played, nice carbine.

You should follow my lead and add a .32-40 Bullard to your .32 bores lever rifle collection Laugh

Serial number is 984582. 

The Lyman sight is in very nice shape.

October 1925, and it was walnut stocks versus gumwood.  The Lyman No. 1A tang sight is a nice upgrade.
