Manufactured in 1905, this special order Winchester Model 1886 rifle is in a very desirable configuration. The top of the barrel has the standard two-line address along with the nickel steel and caliber markings on the upper left near the breech. There are factory oval proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech. The three-line model and trademark information is on the upper tang with the patent dates and serial number on the lower tang. The left side of the lower tang is unmarked. It is fitted with a Lyman beaded blade front sight, rear sight dovetail filler, and a Lyman peep sight mounted on the left of the receiver. It is in takedown configuration with a special order half magazine and is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a checkered, hard rubber, shotgun buttplate. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .45-90 caliber with a round barrel, extra light, smokeless, plain trigger, half magazine, rubber shotgun buttplate, takedown, and nickel steel when received at the warehouse on 26 September 1905 and shipped the next day in order number 26909-B.

Fine, retains 60% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina with a few scattered patches of light pitting. The refinished wood is very good with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
