41. Special Order Stevens Conlin 1st Issue Rifle! ..22 cal., scarce early barrel address, 10" barrel, very good plus bore. I've only seen one other example of a Conlin rifle ( that one had a replacement wood buttstock). This is an all-original example in very nice overall condition- 95% lustrous barrel blue- balance turning to a plum-blue patina. Replacement brass blade in front sight base, original rear sight on forward area of the octagon portion of the barrel, an extra dovetail at the rear portion contains a filler blank. There were only 500 1st issue Conlins made. 90% original nickel remains on the frame- turning a nice mellow patina. 50% nickel remains on the buttstock which is numbered to the gun, balance of stock brass has turned to a pleasing dark patina. Excellent traces of case colors remain on the hammer and trigger, crisp action. Very nice grips. An extraordinary find. Antique.
