DELUXE WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 36597. Cal. 45-90. Deluxe rifle with 26″ oct bbl, full magazine, half nickel front sight and semi-buckhorn rear sight. Mounted with very nicely figured 1-2X American walnut with “H” style checkered forearm and black insert, serpentine grip buttstock that has crescent buttplate. This rifle was produced in 1889 during the time of America’s Great Westward Expansion when the daily carrying of a rifle was a way of life. The Model ’86 was one of the most popular rifles of its era with its powerful high velocity cartridges, including the 45-90 which was a somewhat more powerful cartridge than the 45-70. Most of these rifles saw daily hard use under extreme conditions and are almost never found with crisp orig finish such as found here. Such color case hardened colors are rapidly faded with simple exposure to the ultra violet rays of sunshine. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus. Overall retains 99%+ crisp orig factory finish with bright crisp blues and brilliant case colors. Wood is equally new with brilliant piano varnish finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore; appears to be new & unfired retaining virtually all of its orig factory blue on bolt face & loading gate. 4-55547 JR346 (30,000-50,000) – Lot 1220
