Description:
UNUSUAL AND EXTREMELY RARE 1886 TAKEDOWN, FACTORY SHORT RIFLE: 22" BARREL, .33 WCF CALIBER, #134XXX, SHIPPED 1905. The standard barrel length for all .33 WCF rifles was 24" and all I have seen were this length. Obviously a special order, this one comes with the Cody Museum call-in sheet verifying the caliber, round barrel 22", plain trigger, 1/2 magazine, shotgun butt- rubber, takedown, received in the warehouse June 24, 1905 and shipped July 8, 1905. This one is in fine condition showing about all the barrel and magazine blue. The receiver shows some minor spotting to the blue on the upper left side of the receiver and silvering on the receiver bottom coming up the sides a little from handling. Exc. blue on the uppertang and bolt. Still some fine case color on the lever and hammer. Also fine blue on the forend cap, lower tangs and takedown ring. Stock and forend are excellent with tight wood to metal fit and exc. correct Winchester embossed hard rubber butt plate. Buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and Lyman "Jack" front sight (half moon with ivory bead) in correct short base. Tight action with solid safety half-cock on the hammer and bright, excellent bore., sharp markings. Introduced in 1902, the .33 WCF is an verlooked caliber that was the only true smokeless round offered in the 1886. Simply a .45-70 case necked down to take standard .338" bullets. It offered a lot more power than the popular .30 WCF. A super rare 1886.
