Octagonal barrel rifles have several advantages over other types of rifles. Firstly, the octagonal shape of the barrel provides increased rigidity and stability, resulting in improved accuracy and precision when shooting. Additionally, the design of the octagonal barrel allows for better heat dissipation, reducing the risk of overheating during prolonged use. Lastly, the unique appearance of octagonal barrel rifles adds a touch of traditional craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal to the firearm.
Not too old judging by that serial number. It is a more recent purchase.
All Winchester Commemoratives will have numerous indicators on either the stock, barrel, or receiver, or all of those places. The Lone Star Commemorative is stamped as such, in gold lettering, on the barrel, and has a medal emblem insert in the stock. Any commemorative will leave zero doubt as if it is one. The Lone Star is one of 6 that come in the carbine model (short barrel), and also the long 26" octagonal barrel. A good resource to check on these is the auction site www.gunbroker.com. Look thru the commemorative section on Winchester Commemoratives, and most of the auctions have photos so you can see exactly what they look like, as well as giving you a good idea of what they sell for.
Weight is the main factor
