Came across this rifle in a local shop and while I don't have a need for it, I could resist the urge of taking it home.
Rifle says it is a 1894 Cowboy Limited. It has the 24in octagonal barrrel, case colored receiver, lever, hammer, blued loading gate and bolt, tang sight. Serial number on the left side of the receiver is 02006XXX.
What caught my eye on this one was the burl like wood stock and forearm.
Having a tough time dating this rifle or determining if the fancier grade wood was just the luck of the draw or if this was a special run for a distributor.
I'm not much of a collector, but would appreciate your help in figuring out what it is.
