Winchester Semi-Deluxe Model 1886 Lightweight Takedown Lever Action Short Rifle in Desirable .45-70 W.C.F.

Manufactured in 1908, this Model 1886 rifle is in a seldom encountered semi-deluxe, lightweight, short rifle configuration. The top of the special order 22 inch barrel is marked with the two-line address and patent dates, while the left has the one-line nickel steel marking, and the caliber marking at the breech. There are British proofs on the barrel, takedown collar, and receiver and Winchester factory oval proofs on the top of the barrel and receiver at the breech. The three-line model and trademark information is marked on the upper tang and the two-line patent dates and serial number are on the lower tang. The left side of the lower tang is marked "783 XXX". It is fitted with a beaded blade front sight and an elevation adjustable notch rear sight. It's mounted with an I-pattern checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with a checkered hard rubber shotgun buttplate.

ConditionVery fine, retains 85% plus of the original blue finish and 90% of the vibrant professionally restored case colors on the hammer, forend cap, and lever with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina. The wood is fine with some scattered light scratches, handling marks, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
