Unique Winchester Model 1886 with Case Colored Receiver, Lever and Hammer. Serial # 101xxx (1895 Vintage). This gun has the look of an early 86 Short Rifle with a Mint Bore in 45/70 Caliber. The barrel carries a Winchester Proof Mark. The Receiver has been Case colored, we do not think it is Turnbull and feel it is early LeFever. A Very Nice Job. Wood is that of a Short or Lightweight Rifle. Here is the kick!! The gun letters as a Octagon Barrled 45/90 with a plain trigger and nothing more. We tried to see if there was a work order on the gun but honestly, it is near impossible getting a detailed letter or build sheet anymore. Wood is Very Solid with what looks like tons of Original finish but we feel something was added at one time. This is NO HACK JOB by any means. Somebody spent a lot of money to put this gun together either a long time ago or in the past 30 - 50 years and it was done right. The only negative in the whole package is the detachable sling swivel in the butt. Being sold as an ANTIQUE with no paperwork required. Will ship to your door. Barrel is proofed Nickel Steel but we recommend early black powder or equivalent loads for this gun for obvious reasons. Nice Package. Thanks for Looking.
