WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.
SN 32336. Cal. 44 RF Henry. Fine '66 rifle with 24-1/4" oct bbl, full magazine, half nickel front sight and 900 yard Henry-style ladder rear sight. Mounted with uncheckered, straight grain American walnut with straight stock and crescent buttplate with trap containing an orig 4-pc brass & iron cleaning rod. Bbl has the Winchester & King's Patent 2-line address. Wood & bbl appear to be modern replacements and receiver appears to have been dressed and artificially aged to perfection, probably by the late Ron Kudrick of Reno, Nevada. Forend cap is probably an orig item with dimpled front edges. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain a fine, smooth, even dark artificially aged patina; ladder rear sight is refinished; receiver & buttplate retain a crisp medium mustard patina. Wood is sound and retains about all of its fine custom finish. Mechanics are fine, brilliant shiny bore. Cleaning rod has minor pitting, otherwise is fine. 4-47659 JR140
