Manufactured between 1914 and 1929, this classic piece holds a rich history and charm that is sure to captivate any gun enthusiast or collector. The gun is in good condition, showing some signs of prior use and handling, but that in no way compromises its performance. The bores are bright, clean, and in excellent condition, with a mirror finish and no signs of wear. The sale includes the original wood stock with no finish, and a brass front bead sight/optic.
The SXS Rabbit Ear boasts a blued finish, a heat treatment that gives it its distinctive look and basic protection against rust. The break-action feature and double trigger offer a truly engaging experience during usage, creating an advanced control mechanism without being overly complicated. The gun provides a balanced blend of challenge and excitement, with its 2-round capacity making it particularly suitable for hunting or target shooting scenarios.
With its tight lock up and exposed hammer, this firearm is not just a tool, but a piece of history. Its design roots trace back to the late 19th to early 20th century, a time when such firearms were very popular for hunting game, particularly waterfowl and small game like rabbits - hence the name 'Rabbit Ear.' If you're looking for a gun that seamlessly blends timeless design with modern functionality, the SXS Rabbit Ear is the perfect choice.
