Description:
SELDOM SEEN SPECIAL ORDER 1886 .33 WCF RIFLE WITH FULL MAGAZINE AND RIFLE BUTT, #139XXX, SHIPPED 1907. The .33 WCF was the only purely smokeless cartridge made expressly for this model and introduced in 1902. All .33 cal. rifles were made as "Extra Lightweight" rifles and the standard configuration was either takedown or solid frame , 24" lightweight round barrels with half magazines and shotgun butt plates. Only on special order were these rifles fitted with full magazines and rifle or curved crescent butt plates. Many collectors view these scarce variants as the only .33 caliber rifles that "look like real Model 1886s." I called this serial number in to the Cody Museum and received a call-in sheet verifying the features of this rifle as original. The records also reveal that this rifle was received in the warehouse on October 10th, 1907 and shipped October 14, 1907. This example shows fine lightly thinning barrel blue with deep blue on the mag. tube and correct short ramp front sight being a marked Marbles 37M blade/bead sight. Rear sight is an original buckhorn. Good receiver blue that is thinning heavily around the edges, but still good blue coverage in the middle sections and fine blue on the bolt. Excellent stock and forend with tight wood to metal fit, tight action with excellent bore. A really unusual and attractive 114 year old 1886.
