Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: SPECIAL ORDER 1886 RIFLE WITH FULL OCTAGON BARREL AND HALF MAGAZINE, .40-82 CALIBER, #48XXX, WITH FACTORY LETTER VERIFYING THESE FEATURES AND SHOWING SHIPMENT IN 1890. A particularly fine early example showing an attractive receiver in which the faded case colors have left the metal a dull gray with hints of bluish case color as opposed to a bright silvery receiver, exc. blue on the bolt, exc. screws, fine loading gate blue, fine butt stock and forearm showing only light handling and very tight wood to metal fit. All correct markings on barrel and upper tang, fine aged barrel blue with original Winchester buckhorn rear sight with Winchester blade front sight, tight action, fine bore with good rifling throughout and only some light corrosion showing toward the middle of the bore. The .40-82 is simply the .45-90 case tapered to accept .40 cal. bullets and was a powerful caliber especially popular in the West. This rifle is unusual because when half magazines were special ordered, barrels provided were normally round or half-octagon. A full octagon barrel with half magazine is a very unusual and seldom encountered variation on any Winchester lever rifle. This one has a really fine appearance. Cody letter included.
