Item Description: Translate description
According to the Winchester Arms Collectors Organization serial number database, this Model 1886 lever-action rifle was produced in 1896. MARKINGS: The lower tang patent dates are in two lines: "PAT. OCT 14, 1884/ JAN. 20, 1885", the top of the barrel is addressed in two lines "MANUFACTURED BY THE/ WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN CONN. U.S.A." along with "45-70" near the breech, and the tang is marked "MODEL 1886". SPECS: Smooth walnut stock with satin finish, grooved metal buttplate with casehardened finish, casehardened receiver/lever/hammer & tang, 26" octagon barrel with high-luster blued finish, dovetailed adjustable buckhorn rear sight, dovetailed front blade sight and full length tubular magazine. CONDITION: This rifle sports a beautiful complete refurbish with no wear to speak of, has an excellent sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: The Winchester Model 1886 lever-action rifle was designed by John Browning and Winchester's William Mason, and produced from 1886 to 1935, with nearly 160,000 units made. It was initially chambered for large black powder cartridges like the .45-70 Government, .45-90 Sharps & .40-82 Winchester. It was known for a strong design and the ability to reliably handle powerful cartridges. It was available in different configurations, including rifle, carbine, and musket versions and was offered with special order features including custom barrels, stocks, and sights. Despite being originally designed for use with black powder, the action was strong enough to make the jump to smokeless powder with only minor modifications and was subsequently chambered in the .33 Winchester smokeless cartridge beginning in 1903. In 1935, Winchester replaced the M1886 with a slightly modified version dubbed the Model 71 chambered for the more powerful .348 Winchester cartridge. The Model 1886 has become a symbol of the American West. It was a favorite of many notable figures including Theodore Roosevelt who owned one and used it extensively on his many hunting expeditions.
