This is a complete barreled action of a Model 1884 including all parts: the trap door, all bolt and firing pin parts and bbl which is equipped with orig Buffington rear and standard front sights, bore is in VG cond as is the finish on all the metal. Evidently was reblued sometime in its lifetime; a nice job-everything is crisp and clean. e
