Model 49r (repeater)
Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:47 pm
Hello everyone i'm new on here so if there already is a thread for the M49r i apologize, but i cant seem to find one...anywhere.
Anyhow i recently acquired one in absolutely mint condition (100% blueing, not a single scratch on steel or stock), and knew little about the rifle in general - but as a lover of lever guns and what i considered a great price of $160 i jumped on it. After trying to do some online research about it im finding that its pretty scarce/rare to find ANYTHING regarding them.
In my estimation this rifle has never been fired...when you open the action the internals are absolutely pristine and unblemeshed/no dirt/gunk/powder residue/wear. Looking down the barrel with a light and its like a mirror all the way down.
So i ask if anyone on this forum can maybe help my curiosities. Are they as rare as they seem to me? Did i over/under pay for my rifle in your estimations? Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
I absolutely love this rifle already and not sure in its condition if i should even ever shoot it (dying to though)
