Deluxe Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle with Case-Hardened Frame

This deluxe Winchester M1886 Fancy Sporting Rifle was manufactured in 1887. The rifle has a blued octagon barrel with full-length magazine. The forearm cap, frame, hammer, loading lever and crescent buttplate have the "special order "Extra Finished" color-case hardened finish with vivid case colors. The rifle has a special order, deluxe, highly figured, pistol grip stock with fine checkering on the forearm and pistol grip. The pistol grip has a ebony inlay. The barrel is fitted with a special order, dove-tail front sight with colored bead and a Lyman folding combination rear sight on the upper tang. The rear sight dove-tail on the barrel is fitted with a factory blank. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the two-line legend: "-MANFACTURED BY THE-/-WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A.-" ahead of the rear sight dove-tail and the caliber designation "40-65 W.C.F." behind it. The lower tang is roll-stamped: "-PAT.OCT.14.1884/JAN. 20. 1885-" in two lines behind the trigger and engraved with the serial number "7584".

ConditionExcellent. The barrel, magazine tube, bolt and loading gate retain nearly 90% of the faded original blue finish. The finish on the barrel has some minor edge wear. There is some light and very minor surface rust on the barrel and magazine tube. The frame, hammer and loading lever have more than 85% of the original case-hardened finish with vivid case colors. The case colors on the forearm cap have some handling wear and are fading to silver. The buttplate has at least 90% of the original case colors. The varnished stock and forearm have at least 90% of the original high gloss varnish finish. The stock and forearm have scattered light handling marks and sharp checkered panels are in fine condition overall. The barrel and tang markings are crisp. This is an excellent example of a second year production Winchester M1886 Fancy Sporting Rifle with special order fancy walnut stock and forearm, "Extra Finished" case colors and Lyman Combination Tang Sight. This is a striking rifle that would be a standout piece in any advanced Winchester collection.
