*VERY RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 “BIG 50” SADDLE RING CARBINE.

*VERY RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 “BIG 50” SADDLE RING CARBINE. SN 149493. Cal. 50 EX (50-110). Rare carbine in a rare configuration in a scarce caliber. Usual configuration with 22″ bbl, full mag, square base front sight with German silver blade and a 3-leaf platinum line express rear sight. Left side of receiver has a stud and ring. Mounted with very fine, straight grain American walnut with I-style checkered forearm and capped pistol grip stock and Winchester hard rubber buttplate. Left side of lower tang is marked with assembly number “77” with matching assembly number in top tang channel of buttstock. Produced in 1910, this carbine was probably someone’s western or Alaskan moose, bear and/or elk rifle. These carbines, while being rather rare simply as carbines, are doubly rare in the “Big 50” calibers and even more rare with high orig finish. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching. Bbl and mag tube retain about 98% strong orig blue turning a little plum on mag tube. Receiver retains about 95% strong orig blue with very light sharp edge wear and a series of flakes on the right side with a very few on the left side and a light halo from the saddle ring. Hammer retains virtually all of its lightly faded case colors and the lever bright case colors on sides and in sheltered areas, faded on outer faces with some fine pitting on the trigger bow. Wood is sound with a very few, very light nicks and scratches and retains virtually of its orig finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, appears to be new & unfired. Bolt face retains virtually all of its orig blue. 4-47093 JR134 (40,000-60,000)
