Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action .45-70 Rifle

This rifle features a German silver blade front sight and adjustable leaf rear sight. The top barrel flat has the two-line address ahead of the rear sight and "45-70" at the breech. The upper tang is marked "-MODEL 1886-" and the two patent dates are marked on the lower tang behind the trigger with the serial number at the end. The bottom forward receiver is non-factory stamped "123" with the "3" being struck upside down. Blue barrel and full length magazine, with casehardened frame and remaining parts. Mounted on a smooth walnut forearm with steel forend cap and straight grip stock with a steel crescent buttplate. Complete with a copy of a Cody Firearms Museum Records Office form that verifies the rifle configuration, caliber, octagon barrel, and plain trigger. The serial number was applied on March 23, 1893 and it was received in the warehouse on April 18, 1893 No shipping date or order number is available.

ConditionVery good. The barrel and magazine tube retain 30% of the faded original blue finish with minor muzzle wear, dings along the barrel edges and dings at the end of the magazine tube. The casehardened frame and remaining parts retain traces of the original case colors mottling to a smooth silver finish with brown speckling. The wood is good with scattered scratches, dings, and pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
