Description:
SUPERB CONDITION 1886 .45-70 EXTRA LIGHTWEIGHT TAKEDOWN RIFLE WITH FACTORY LETTER, #137XXX. One of the finest of these last of the great 1886 rifles I’ve offered. The factory letter that accompanies this rifle states: Rifle, .45-70, Round Barrel, 22”, Extra Light, Plain Trigger, ½ Magazine, Shotgun Butt, Rubber, Takedown, Nickel Steel, Received in the warehouse on May 11, 1906 and Shipped from the warehouse on May 21, 1906. The barrel and magazine retain nearly all the deep factory blue and even the forend cap shows only light edge wear to the blue. The barrel is fitted with a sweeping full buckhorn rear sight mated with a Lyman half-moon with ivory bead front sight in the correct small ramp. The takedown is tight. The receiver shows excellent deep blue on the sides, upper and lower tangs and bolt. Only the underside/forward part of the receiver has thinning blue that is mixing heavily gray. The takedown ring too is mainly flaked to gray. The lever shows nice case color in the upper protected region by the receiver and there is still some nice case color on the hammer. The receiver screws are excellent. The Winchester embossed rubber butt plate is not cracked or chipped and fits perfectly. Wood is excellent, action is very tight and the bore is minty bright. All markings including the desirable “NICKEL STEEL” barrel stamping are sharp and excellent. About as nice as one could hope to find.
