Whitney-Kennedy Lever Action .40-60 caliber 28” octagon barrel lever action Cowboy rifle. Made by the famed Whitney Arms Company in Connecticut, the Whitney-Kennedy repeating rifle was one of the finest lever action rifles of the early cartridge period and was a direct competitor of Winchester and Marlin. The Whitney-Kennedy lever action repeating rifle was made from 1879-1886 and was considered one of the strongest and smoothest rifles of its type. Only approx. 15,000 of all types were manufactured before production ceased................................................. Since all of the production of this rifle was made during the Frontier Period, most of these robust arms saw hard service in the Western United States. The Whitney-Kennedy was considered such a superior weapon that in 1888 Winchester Repeating Arms bought out the entire company. ..........................................This rifle is all original and has special deluxe wood. The steel has been cleaned and burnished. The wood has been lacquered. Markings are crisp. Mechanics are fine. A He-Man Cowboy lever action. .....................................................
