Description:
HIGH CONDITION 1886 PISTOL GRIP, CHECKERED, TAKEDOWN AND RARE FULL MAGAZINE EXTRA LIGHTWEIGHT RIFLE IN .33 WCF, #144XXX, MADE 1907. This is an extremely rare combination in a smokeless extra lightweight Model 1886. The standard .33 WCF caliber 1886 was made with a half magazine and straight stock. A full magazine on this model is extremely rare as is the combination of a pistol grip, checkering and takedown feature. Additionally, this rifle is fitted with a long Lyman receiver sight ("Climbin’ Lyman" sight) that retains about all the blue and also still retains the tiny flip-up/flip-down aperture in the eye piece. I called the Cody Museum to check the serial number on this one and everything lettered right down to the "Sights: Lyman Receiver and front sights." Sights are almost never mentioned in letters so it is nice to know it came as a factory option right from Winchester. The barrel and magazine show about all the deep blue as does the receiver. There is only a small area of thinning blue on the bottom of the forward part of the receiver from handling. There is even some nice light case color on the lever and hammer. The wood to metal fit is tight and overall the wood is in excellent condition. Even the forend cap retains fine blue and the screws look unturned. Correct Winchester embossed hard rubber pistol grip cap, Bore is excellent, all markings are also excellent and takedown is tight. The .33 WCF is the only purely smokeless powder cartridge intended for the Model 1866 and is simply the classic .45-70 case necked down to take .338” diameter bullets. This is an outstanding investment Winchester.
