Description:
1886 .33 WCF RIFLE, #142XXX, MADE 1907. The .33 WCF was the only cartridge designed specifically for the strong Model 1886 and intended for smokeless powder. It is simply the .45-70 case necked down to accept .338" diameter bullets. At the time of its introduction in 1902, it was one of the most powerful rounds for tubular magazine lever guns- sort of a big .30-30 which was based on the .38-55 case. This one shows fine blue on the bolt with the receiver sides mostly silvered with some small amount of blue in the rear sections- a more blue on the left side. It has a buckhorn rear sight on the 24" barrel with standard short ramped front sight with a Sheard marked Marble blade/bead. It also has a Marble marked tang sight. I removed this sight a little and there were NO surprise holes underneath and judging from the uncleaned grime and untouched blue beneath I would think this sight has been on the rifle since it was new. The barrel and standard short magazine show fine blue that is only lightly thinning. Exc. markings, tight action. The bore was dirty when I got this one, so I ran a brush through it a few times followed with an oil patch- all of which came out black (not brown from rust). Bore looks like it ought to clean out more to about excellent. Stock and forearm are generally excellent with tight wood to metal fit with only the shotgun butt plate a correct hard rubber replacement (reproduction) that has been fitted nicely. A nice 117 year old 1886 that still has a lot of life left in it.
