Offhand, I can't think of anything needing disassembly, but: Two-notch, or three notch tumbler? Sight held with slotless screws, yes/no?Solidleadslug wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 4:56 am I'd be happy to disassemble and take any pictures of this early gun to anyone interested it further.

All the more reason to treat it kindly and enjoy what you have. You will NOT easily find another so original.Solidleadslug wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 4:34 am 2 notch tumbler with both slotless screws present and unmarred

Re: First model 1873
What are these worth with a refinished stock if you might know?

Price would be what one would pay for such an early, complete and correct rifle.Solidleadslug wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 4:58 am What are these worth with a refinished stock if you might know?
Since the original stock is missing hurts the value substantially.
You may be able to find a correct stock at a show or watch for one on eBay, they do come up on eBay once in a while.
If you do sell it with a correct stock be sure to let the buyer know it is a replacement.
