This rifle was manufactured around 1886-1891 and is one of only approximately 500 six-screw small frame action repeaters (sn. 1500-2000) and is made even rarer by its unusually long barrel and special sights. It has a beaded blade front sight (bead absent), a tang mounted peep sight, the serial number between the peep and hammer, "Cal. 38" on top of the receiver ring, "Model 1886" on the right side of the frame, "BULLARD REPEATING ARMS COMPANY/SPRINGFIELD MASS. U.S.A." on the left side of the frame, a smooth forearm, and semi-pistol grip buttstock with nice figure and curved hard rubber buttplate embossed with the factory turkey logo.
