Manufactured in 1895. The carbine has the distinctive brass receiver, round barrel, full length magazine, barrel band with integral front sight, two leaf rear sight, saddle ring and staple on the left side of the frame, and walnut stock with crescent brass buttplate with compartment. The bolt retains its original rimfire firing pin. The top of the barrel is stamped with the two-line Winchester address/King's improvement patent dates. The lower tang is stamped with the serial number behind the trigger as well as "DS." The '66 secured Winchester's place in the annals of the West and launched a long line of successful Winchester lever actions that remain popular to this day and still retain the basic form of the '66.
