Winchester discontinued the casehardened receiver on the Model 1886 in 1901. no factory letter is available to writer so we cannot guarantee it will letter, but appears correct.

Good. The barrel and magazine tube have a smooth brown patina. The receiver has a smooth mottled gray patina, the lever has a smooth mottled brown patina, and the buttplate has a smooth dark mottled patina. The wood is very good with a few scattered minor dings and scratches. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is very good. A nice example of a Model 1886 Saddle Ring Carbine in the very desirable 50 Express caliber.
