Antique Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle

Manufactured in 1890. The top barrel flat is marked with the two-line address ahead of the rear sight and "40-82 W.C.F." at the breech. The upper tang is marked "-MODEL 1886-". Dovetail blade front sight and adjustable buckhorn rear sight. Mounted on a smooth forearm straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

ConditionVery good, retains 20% faded blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The receiver, lever, and hammer show patches of original case colors in sheltered areas with the balance faded to smooth crisp brown-gray patina. The reoiled wood is good with a moderate chip missing near the tang, a short crack in the grip on the left where it meets the receiver, and some minor scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent.
