Description:
#4822 Winchester 1886 OBFMCB 38/56WCF, 71XXX range (1892), G-VG bore and action, about a 6-7 on a scale of 10 now, but should clean much better. It has a few dark spots that should scrub out and has good rifling with just some light lead build-up and scale in the grooves. Very decent buttstock with no slivers or serious dings, tight fit to the metal, but the forearm has wear to the left front, probably from bumping against something, such as a wagon seat. VG metal, no pitting of consequence, but a slightly gritty feeling surface, like a piece of #460 grit sandpaper. Overall just a thin dark grey-brown patina on the barrel, magazine and frame. This old Winchester was a forgotten step-child because this cartridge went obsolete well before WW2. But now, 70+ years later with the popularity of “Cowboy Action” shooting, this mild recoil caliber can be easily found reloaded by on-line dealers to where this caliber has gained in popularity again. About the average conditioned 1886 that can be found in gun shows, but such guns are usually well above $2000, so this one should be a decent bargain. About VG as described. $1895
