Antique WINCHESTER 1886 Lever Action .45-90 WCF Rifle
Big Bore Repeating Rifle Manufactured in 1893
Here we present a Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1893 in New Haven, Connecticut. The 1886 was a collaboration between John Moses Browning and his brother, Matthew Sandifer Browning, to build a big game rifle to replace the Model 1876. This was Browning’s first repeating rifle design adopted by Winchester. The 1886 rifle, often called “the best rifle in the world”, even made Theodore Roosevelt, later President of the United States, very fond of the large caliber Model 1886 working rifle during his western adventures on the plains. From 1886 through 1935, almost 160,000 carbines and rifles were produced with calibers that ranged from the smaller 33WCF to the largest, 50-100, with the most popular caliber being the .45-70 and the 45-90. This rifle was a great improvement over the Model 1876. Its shorter, streamlined frame proved very popular and was well received by sportsmen, shooters, and law enforcement groups alike. The Model 1886 continued the trend towards chambering heavier rounds, and had an all-new and considerably stronger locking-block action than the toggle-link Model 1876.
This rifle has character. The right side of the butt stock shows that it had a close call with a fire at some point long ago. The area is a bit darker and any roughness has smoothed over with age and use. The barrel has been cut down a few inches and a Marbles front sight and Redfield peep sight installed.
The overall condition is very good. The iron parts have a gray patina. The markings are clear. The walnut stock is solid. The bore is very nice, bright with good rifling. The action is excellent.
