Description
Winchester Model 1886, .45-90 cal. lever action rifle.  NSN.  Very nice antique 1886 with a highly desirable caliber. 95% re-blued and re-cased colored finish.  Good address markings.  Receiver and lever have 40% original case colors, but receiver sides have been case colored lightly - see photos.  Action screws are very good.  Upper tang has been carefully grafted on to rear of receiver and has no markings.  Lower tang has no serial numbers but does have patent dates – Madis book indicates that this is possible with factory-replaced tangs. 26" octagon barrel has an excellent bore! Stock and forearm have excellent original finish with some handling marks in grip area.  Correct curved rifle butt plate.  Lever action works beautifully and locks up tightly with that old Winchester quality that no modern replica can duplicate!  Great and highly desirable caliber. Looks wonderful with a SUPER BORE. Antique, can ship to your door.
