	I just picked up this 1882 Maynard in 40-40, with a 30" Malcolm. Price was right, do you think this is an original scope? It doesn't appear to be MVA to me. Aaron

In isn't MVA but Leatherwood that commits the fraud of calling some of its scopes "Malcolms," and even they haven't gone so far as to mark them "Syracuse." Once had a #16 (mismatched--the only kind I could afford) with a full-length Stevens scope and found it such a nuisance to carry around & shoot that I didn't keep it long; but I could more easily put up with such a magnificent condition Malcolm.

	Don't think anyone marked the Malcolm scopes as yours is Aaron, except Malcolm. Looks like the real deal to me! Gorgeous!

	It looks right to me. The knob on mine has standard cross hatch knurling instead if the helical lines like yours, but I still think it is correct.

	Thanks Guys, The Maynard also came with a non-pictured shotgun barrel they claim is 28ga. I hope the missing forearm is on it. Aaron

Aaron Well, unless there's a screw hole under the brl for a forearm screw, it never had one, like all but the two highest grade Maynards. Have never been able to get too excited about Maynards for this reason; ditto for Stevens Tip-Ups. However, many or most of their customers seemed not to mind.

	For what it's worth, in my experience, helical or slanted knurling seems to have been something of a cross-industry standard through the last quarter of the 19th century. That being my opinion, whenever I see that kind of knurl on a piece that is obviously not a reproduction or a replacement, my initial guess is that the object was most likely made before 1900 or very soon thereafter.

Not surprising, considering the several different owners of the Malcolm Co. after Malcolm died in 1890. After 1904, the current owner moved to Auburn, NY, so this scope was obviously built before the relocation of the shop.

	Well, unless there's a screw hole under the brl for a forearm screw, it never had one, like all but the two highest grade Maynards. A lot to learn, I thought all the 1882's have forearms. I have one in 22 Maynard extra long centerfire, must be a high grade. Aaron

Aaron If it has a forearm & a pistol grip, it's a #16, straight grip, #15. But I suppose any model could have been special ordered with a forearm for probably very little extra.

	I love that rack and pinion sight. My 1882 has the Lyman made for the Maynard, so it's probably not a high grade. Aaron

Aaron I certainly agree with you on the R&P sight. Did you also notice the front is a No. 7 Lyman, which if you aren't familiar is a real neat wing gauge sight. It has the ability to lock the windage and also is reversible from pin to aperture reticle. Stroebel's book pp 55

	I have a #7 on my 1873 Maynard in 35-30, great sight. Have a couple of #17's ( not 17A) in my sight box too. What number is the windage Beach type front sight? Aaron
