Manufactured in 1870. This is a solid representative example of a well above average condition Winchester Model 1866 Saddle Ring Carbine. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address/King's improvement patent dates, and the serial number is marked on the lower tang behind the trigger. Blade front sight integral with the barrel band and folding two leaf rear sight. There is a saddle ring and staple attached to the left rear of the receiver. Blue barrel and magazine tube, casehardened hammer and lever. Mounted with a smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock with buttstock compartment with an original three piece cleaning rod.

Very good. The metal surfaces have a dark patina with some minor spotting and pitting on the barrel and magazine tube. The brass components are fine and have an attractive natural aged patina. The wood remains very good with scattered minor dents, dings and scratches. The action is fine.
