Description:
EXTRREMELY RARE AND UNUSUAL VERY LATE MODEL 1886 TAKEDOWN, .33 WCF, #159XXX, MADE 1929. By this late date production of these was at a trickle. In 1925 three were made, in 1926 seven were made, in 1927 nineteen were made, 1928 to end of production in 1932 numbers not known. Interestingly, on these last 1886 rifles the barrels are marked "-MODEL 1886-" on the right side and "MADE IN U.S.A." on the left side along with the usual Winchester markings. This is a fine example that retains most of the barrel and short magazine blue with only the most minor of wear. The receiver shows fine deep blue on the sides and top with only minor edge wear and a few small scuffs. The receiver bottom is thinning/mixing gray. Flat top buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact, front sight is a Lyman "Jack" sight (half-moon with ivory bead) in the correct short ramp base. Wood is excellent with tight wood to metal fit, Winchester embossed hard rubber butt plate is also exc. Tight takedown, tight action with strong half-cock and minty bright bore! A seriously rare variation with very few made and one of the very last of the great 1886s.
