Description:
#4608 Winchester 1866-SRC (AKA, “The Yellow Boy”) 44RF with typically “so-so” bore, having some blotches of pitting but mostly being decent rifling. VG smooth action. Serial numbered in the 101XXX range (1872 mfgr). Condition-wise, for a saddle carbine it is slightly above the average condition for the metal with the exception that, like most carbines, the barrel address has been worn away from scabbard use. The forearm has some slivers and chipping at the nose and the buttstock has some bumps and bruises at the rear lower right side. Like many carbines, the buttstock (while being an original ’66 stock) is almost certain to have been replaced, since the butt plate serial number, while being close, does not match. A mis-match like this was usually due to the cowboys horse tripping in a prairie dog hole and rolling over on the stock, breaking it. Correct “butterfly” lever latch and sights. It’s getting very, VERY difficult to find a decent ‘66 carbine at anything under $4500-5000 these days, and this is a pretty decent little saddle gun at $4350.
