Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle

This is an example of a Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle manufactured in 1894 with a casehardened receiver. The casehardened receivers were discontinued in 1901 and at that time they were finished blue as the standard finish. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address ahead of the rear sight and "38-56 W.C.F." at the breech end. The upper tang is marked "-MODEL 1886-" and the lower tang is marked with the 1884 and 1885 patent dates directly behind the trigger and the serial number to the rear. The barrel is equipped with a dovetailed blade front sight, adjustable rear buckhorn sight. Fitted with a smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Fine. The barrel has a smooth brown patina with 60% plus of the original blue finish. The replacement magazine tube retains 98% original blue finish with some light thinning. The receiver has a smooth silver gray patina with traces of faded original case colors in protected areas. The lever and buttplate have a smooth mottled gray patina. The revarnished wood is very good with some scattered minor dents, dings and scratches. The markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
