Fine Antique Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle in Desirable .45-70 W.C.F.

Manufactured in 1888 with a casehardened receiver, as was standard on the Model 1886 until 1902. The standard two-line address and caliber are marked on top of the barrel. The model designation is marked on the upper tang and the two-line patent dates and serial number are on the lower tang. It is fitted with a German silver blade front sight, an elevation adjustable notch rear sight, and a special order single set trigger. It's mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate. There are non-factory sling swivel studs installed on the forearm cap and bottom of the buttstock.

ConditionVery good, retains 40% of the original blue finish and 20% of the vibrant original case colors with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina and a few scattered small patches of light pitting. The wood is also very good with some scattered light handling marks and a few minor dings. Mechanically excellent.
