EXTREMELY RARE SPECIAL ORDER WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 SADDLE RING CARBINE.

SN 70041. Cal. 38-56. Standard grade carbine with very rare special order 20″ bbl, vs standard 22″ bbls. It has full length magazine, square base front sight and “1886” marked 1000 yd carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of receiver has a stud &ring. Mounted with uncheckered straight grain American walnut with straight stock and carbine buttplate. Left side of lower tang, under the wood is marked with assembly number “90”. Buttstock & buttplate are unnumbered. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter which identifies this carbine in cal 38-56 with 20″ bbl, received in warehouse Sept 2, 1892 and shipped same day to order number “3035”. 1886 carbines, while not terribly rare are almost never found with special order features, making this one of the most rare of this model. This carbine was produced in the era of the Great Westward Expansion when the daily carrying & use of a firearm was expected. The saddle ring carbine was undoubtedly of about equal popularity with a Colt revolver. These arms were exposed daily to hard service under harsh conditions and few survive today especially with any orig finish. CONDITION: Good to very good. No orig finish remains with the metal being an overall grey patina showing light to moderate wear. Forearm has a crack in the tip and buttstock is missing a chip by the lower tang, has a plugged sling stud hole on the bottom and overall retains an old refinish. Mechanics are fine. Strong bore with some shine and sharp rifling. 4-47929 JR15 (10,000-15,000) – Lot 1222
