Description:
GORGEOUS CASE COLORED 1886 .40-65 CALIBER OCTAGON RIFLE, #78XXX, WITH FACTORY LETTER, MADE 1893. This is truly an investment quality Winchester. The receiver shows nearly full vivid case colors on the left side with fine case colors on the right side that show only minor fading, the bolt retains beautiful bright blue as does the loading gate. The hammer sides and lever sides show fine case color with a slightly more silvering on the right side. There is silvering on the lever bottom, receiver bottom and upper tang. The receiver ring still shows light faded color. The lower tang shows vivid color under the lever with more faded color behind the lever. The forend cap also shows very fine case color. Barrel and magazine blue is excellent and the barrel has sharp markings. The buckhorn rear sight retains excellent blue and is paired with a blade front sight. The excellent walnut stock is a rich deep color with a little better than standard grain and displays a very tight wood to metal fit, as does the forend. The bore is bright and excellent with strong rifling and only a few minor spots of surface roughness that might clean out. With tight action and excellent screws, this is a remarkably well preserved 1886 that has seen minimal use in its 127 years!
