This is an excellent example of a Winchester Model 1886 Takedown Rifle that was manufactured in 1894. The rifle has a special order 26-inch full-octagon barrel and shotgun buttplate. The barrel, magazine, forearm cap and receiver have a blue finish and the hammer and loading lever are casehardened. The stock and forearm are Grade I fancy grain walnut with a varnish finish. The stock has a black checkered hard rubber shotgun style buttplate with the round Winchester logo in the center. The barrel has a standard dovetail mounted sporting front sight with nickel-silver blade and set screw on the right side and a sporting style rear sight with screw-adjustable center notch. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped "- MANUFACTURED BY THE- -WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN CONN. U.S.A. -" in two lines ahead of the rear sight. "45-90 W.C.F." is roll-stamped in two lines between the rear sight and the receiver. The top of the receiver tang is roll-stamped "- MODEL 1886 -". The lower tang is stamped with the 1884 and 1885 patent dates behind the trigger and the script serial number "102016" between the tang screws. The stock is fitted with a non-factory sling swivel mount; there is no corresponding sling swivel mount on the forearm cap.
