WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 SADDLE RING CARBINE.

SN 157207. Cal. 44 RF Henry. Standard carbine with 20″ rnd bbl, full magazine, barleycorn front sight that has had an ivory bead added and 2 position flip rear sight.

Mounted with nicely figured, uncheckered, slab sawed American walnut with straight stock & brass carbine buttplate with trap. Left side of the lower tang, under the wood is marked with the assembly number “2152” which number is also found in top tang channel of buttstock. Inside toe of buttplate is marked with the assembly number “1341”. This carbine was produced in 1882, long after the advent of center fire repeating rifles by both Winchester and Marlin and the cartridge it was chambered for was, by that time obsolete.
