Description:
This is a rare special order Winchester Model 1886 as there were only 5,068 with a 28 inch barrel and only 15% of the 1886's were made in this caliber. Throw in the antique serial number and the number shrinks even more. This is an octagon barrel with full length mag and a rifle butt in the desirable 45-90 caliber. Action is crisp and sharp. Bore has some shine to it as well as good rifling with light roughness throughout. Still very shootable. All metal surfaces are a brown patina with some original blue showing in the protected areas on the barrel and mag tube. Sights include an "1876" marked rear ladder and a German Silver blade front. Wood appears to have been sanded long ago and has some scrapes and bruises from decades of service. Also interestingly is the stock has a 1 inch shorter length of pull than the standard stock length. Very unusual gun. A good collectable antique Winchester.
