Description: TRULY AMAZING 1886 RARITY! THIS IS THE FIRST STANDARD OCTAGON RIFLE I'VE SEEN THAT LETTERS WITH A CHEEK PIECE STOCK!!! DESIRABLE CALIBER .45-90, the factory letter states that this rifle left the factory in 1889 as an octagon .45-90 caliber rifle and was then returned in 1894 for "New frame and plain shotgun butt stock with cheek piece fitted and returned." So apparently, someone ordered/bought this rifle and a few years later had the receiver replaced and the stock changed, making this one of the rarest 1886s extant! On the few photos of 1886s with cheek pieces they were almost always super deluxe engraved presentation models where as this was a working gun. fine lightly thinning barrel blue, mag tube has some blue that is aged and mixing dark and brown, silver/gray receiver with thinning blue on the bolt, has the 1886 dated sporting ladder sight with slide intact (looks like a longer carbine sight), fine+-exc. forend, butt stock shows normal light handling and has a very old hairline crack coming back from the upper tang for a few inches and doesn't go all the way through the stock, but probably made it a little loose as there are a few barely visible repair plugs in each side of the wrist making this a very tight fitting stock- you have to look very carefully to see this and it in no way detracts from the overall fine appearance of this rare 1886, fine screws and MINTY BRIGHT EXC. BORE! smooth steel shotgun butt plate, The best and most advanced Winchester 1886 collections don't have one of these!
