Winchester Model 1886 lever action rifle manufactured in 1909. The rifle is in the "Extra Lightweight configuration with 24-inch, rapid taper, round barrel chambered in 33 W.C.F., 3/4 magazine, pistol grip stock with shotgun buttplate and checkered panels on the forearm and pistol grip. The rifle has a blued barrel, magazine, forearm cap and receiver with color casehardened hammer and lever. The barrel has a Lyman Express style front sight with colored bead and a sporting style rear sight with adjustable center notch. The stock and forearm are straight grain American walnut with a varnish finish. The stock has a black hard rubber grip cap and buttplate. The grip cap is embossed with "Winchester Repeating Arms" in relief and the buttplate is checkered and has the round Winchester logo in the center. The left side of the barrel is roll-stamped: "MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO./NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A. PAT. OCT.14.1884.JAN.20.1885." in two lines ahead of the rear sight and "-NICKEL STEEL BARREL-/ESPECIALLY FOR SMOKELESS POWDER" in two lines below the rear sight. The caliber designation "33 W.C.F." is roll-stamped on the left side of the barrel between the rear sight and the receiver. The Winchester oval "W/P" proof mark is stamped on the top of the barrel and receiver. The upper receiver tang is roll-stamped: "MODEL 1886/-WINCHESTER-/TRADE MARK REG. IN U.S. PAT. OFF." in three lines. The 1884 and 1885 patent dates are stamped on the lower tang behind the trigger and the serial number "149749" is stamped behind the rear tang screw.

Excellent plus. The rifle is all original and retains 98% plus of the bright original blue and color casehardened finish. The finish wear is limited to several very insignificant spots of age discoloration on the barrel between the magazine and the rear sight and some minor finish flaking on the rear sight base. The receiver and forearm cap show almost no finish or handling wear. The hammer and lever have vivid case colors. The stock and forearm are both in excellent plus condition with all of the original finish and sharp checkering. This is an excellent example of a Winchester Model 1886 Extra Lightweight Semi-Deluxe Rifle.
