Description:
Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle in 45-70 Antique made in 1897
This Winchester 1886 rifle is in 45-70 in standard configuration it features a full length 26" Octagon barrel and full magazine.and walnut stocks with folding barrel sight and blade front sight.
Condition:
The overall condition is very good the bore has is lightly oxidized with some pits with good rifling. The metal surfaces have aged to a lightly-mottled blend of light and dark gray patina with scattered spots of softened light pitting and old light oxidation along with a few expected handling marks for a rifle of this age. The barrel and receiver markings are clear. The smooth walnut stocks rate fine with a couple short cracks behind the upper tang, a couple smoothed-over abrasions here and there and some other light handling marks. The sights are intact and the action function well mechanically. This is a nice, honest Winchester 1886 made in 1897.
I have loaded and shot this rifle with standard 45-70 smokeless loads (Trapdoor rated) and it operates, cycles, and shoots fine. You can shoot blackpowder or smokeless in this rifle.. Although I shot this rifle to prove out that it shoots and cycles and not for accuracy I did find that it shot both lead and jacketed bullets well. Being an antique this rifle can ship directly to the buyer without going thourgh an FFL background check.
