Exceptional Late Production Winchester Model 1886 Lightweight Takedown Lever Action Rifle in the Desirable 45-70 Caliber

This is a very late production example of a scarce special order rifle, lightweight, takedown rifle as manufactured in 1922. This example has the fast taper, 22 inch barrel with a beaded blade front sight and the sporting, elevation adjustable rear sight. The barrel has late pattern Winchester style markings with the two-line address/patent dates on the left side of the barrel over the forend cap/barrel band with "MADE IN U.S.A." just in front of the rear sight followed by the two-line nickel steel marking and "45-70" at the breech end. The top of the barrel and receiver are both stamped with the "WP" Winchester proofmark inside an overall. The upper tang has the late pattern, three-line model/trademark information, and the lower tang has the serial number "159665A". The takedown lever has the 1893 patent date. It has the early style Winchester blue finish on all the metal parts with a high gloss varnish on the buttstock and forend. The shotgun style stock is fitted with a black plastic impress checkered buttplate with the Winchester logo in the middle.

ConditionExcellent with 98% plus of the original blued finish overall with only minor edge wear on the very right upper edge of the receiver. It actually looks like a rub spot from being in storage. The left side of the takedown collar has a small vise imprint mark. The stock and forend both retain most of their original factory varnish overall with a very small/minor chip on the underside at the toe area. The right left rear side of the buttstock has four small pin holes with some very minor scratches around the holes, probably where there was once a small medallion on the stock. The right rear side of the forend also shows a small slight scratch towards the rear of the forend.
