DELUXE WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

DELUXE WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 LEVER ACTION RIFLE. Cal. 40-82. SN 67940. Fine deluxe rifle with 26″ oct bbl, full magazine, Beach’s ivory bead combination front sight, semi-buckhorn rear sight & Lyman tang sight with loop. Mounted with very nicely figured, flame & shell grain, H-style checkered, American walnut with black insert pistol grip stock & crescent buttplate. Left side of lower tang, under the wood, is stamped with assembly number “214” & “XX”. Assembly number is not found inside top tang channel of buttstock, however it is found inside toe of buttplate indicating the possibility of a replacement buttstock. This is a piece of factory wood that has been in place a long time. So, if it is a replacement, it is a very old one. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter fully identifying this rifle & indicating shipment June 11, 1892. CONDITION: Fine. Bbl retains about 95% strong orig blue & magazine tube about 50% orig blue with outside radius a dark brown patina. Receiver retains traces of case colors in very sheltered areas with the balance having faded to silver. Lever & hammer are matching. Stock has a small crack on inside web that extends slightly out the right side by the tang. It also has a tiny hairline back of top tang and a couple of grain checks on left side by the toe, otherwise wood is sound & retains about all of a bright professionally restored finish. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with some minor orange peel roughness. Goforth Collection 4-60613 JR161 (10,000-15,000)
