Wonderful Remington No. 6 New Model Improved Single Shot Boys Rifle
serial #S160803, 32 RF, 20'' barrel with a bright fine bore showing some light frosting in the otherwise strong rifling. The barrel retains about 98% original blue with a few tiny spots of loss and some light handling marks toning to a gray patina. The trigger retains nearly all its original blue while the buttplate retains about 85-90% original blue with some speckles of light oxidation and light wear around the edges toning to gray. The frame, breechblock and hammer retain about 97% original color case-hardened finish which is particularly vivid on the left side with some minor softening on the bow of the triggerguard and the top of the hammer spur, and some fine brown speckling on the right side. Barrel and frame markings are crisp with ''PATENTED JULY 22, 1902'' on the left side of the frame. The smooth walnut stocks rate perhaps near excellent with a thin crack behind the upper and lower tangs, a small dent on the right side of the comb, and some other expected light handling marks. A tiny ''KM / 605'' is painted in white enamel on the toe and the stock is numbered to the gun behind the lower tang. The bead is missing from the front sight, the sights including the folding tang sight are otherwise intact, and the action is strong and crisp. A beautiful New Model Improved Remington No. 6 for your collection. (23B11739-30) {C&R} (700/900)
