Description:

This is a poor example of a Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle that was manufactured in 1891. The casehardened receivers were discontinued in 1901 and at that time they were finished blue as the standard finish. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address ahead of the rear sight and a faint "45-70" at the breech end. The upper tang is marked "-MODEL 1886-" and the lower tang is marked with the 1884 and 1885 patent dates directly behind the trigger and the serial number to the rear. A saddle ring stud with saddle ring is mounted on the left side of the frame and has a red leather tassel. The barrel is equipped with a pinned blade front sight and folding rear sight marked "1886" and graduated to 900 yards. Fitted with a smooth walnut forearm with single barrel band and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Poor as fitted with refinished and repaired wood. The barrel has an artificial light brown patina while the frame and remaining components have a brown patina. The chamber area has had the caliber marking crudely restamped. There are a few little dings and scratches scattered throughout. The wood is good with a glossy finish with some variance in tone and a repair on the upper right side at the junction with the frame and otherwise a few small dings and light scratches. Mechanically excellent with the markings, aside from the caliber, clear and legible.
