Description:

Manufactured in 1904, this special order Winchester Model 1886 rifle is chambered in the desirable .45-90 W.C.F. cartridge. The top of the barrel has the standard two-line address along with the caliber markings on the upper flat 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 German silver blade front sight, elevation adjustable notch rear sight, and a Lyman peep sight mounted on the upper tang. It is fitted with a special order double set trigger and is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a checkered steel shotgun buttplate. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .45-90 caliber with a 36 inch octagon barrel, set trigger, and shotgun buttplate when received at the warehouse on 14 December 1906 and shipped the same day in order number 71456. The 36 inch barrel length listing in the factory letter may be a notation error by the factory as the 26 inch barrel and magazine do not appear to have been shortened.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retains 50% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to a smooth grey patina and a series of light dings near the muzzle and tip of the magazine. The revarnished wood is very good with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout. Mechanically excellent.
