WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 LEVER ACTION CARBINE.

WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 LEVER ACTION CARBINE. Cal. 44 CF. SN 40751. Unusual carbine that appears to have been converted from a rifle as there is no staple in left side of receiver. A 44 Russian cartridge will chamber nicely, but neither 44 American or 44-40 will pass through the action. It has standard 20” carbine bbl with no trace of markings, with the early style integral front band & sight, the thick smooth middle band with a rivet through the screw hole and the early 2-position flip rear sight. Mounted with straight grain, uncheckered American walnut with straight stock & brass carbine buttplate with trap. Bottom of stock has a factory installed sling swivel with a corresponding hole in bbl band where swivel has been lost. Forearm has a small step in front of the band. Accompanied by a 4-pc, all steel wiping rod, not by Winchester. CONDITION: Fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain about 90% strong bright blue with some scattered pitting. Both bands have moderate pitting. Bbl is slightly loose in receiver. Receiver has reasonably sharp edges with no battering on sideplates. Forearm has a crack at the tip, otherwise wood is sound and retains most of an old restored finish. Mechanics are fine, strong bright bore. Wiping rod is also fine. 4-30114 (3,000-4,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2007

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
