Description:
For consideration is a very nice Winchester Model 1866 Saddle Ring Carbine in .44 rimfire caliber. Originally known as the "Improved Henry" due to its patented loading gate on the side of the frame, designed by Nelson King, Winchester's plant superintendent, and the addition of a wood forearm, the 1866 model was known as the "Yellow Boy" by the Native Americans, because of its brass frame. The '66 model was the first true cowboy lever-action and the first that adapted well to carrying in a saddle scabbard, due to its slab sided design. With over 170,000 made between 1866-1898--it's popularity continued long after more powerful lever guns were introduced. The '66 model was famous worldwide, with guns used by the forces of Benito Juarez in Mexico, the Turkish army in their fight against the Russians and in the Wild West by such notables as Sioux Medicine Man Sitting Bull, the Union Pacific's chief engineer, General Grenville Dodge, and desperado Bill Doolin. This example is in very good condition both mechanically and physically. The bore has some frosting but is definately shootable. It has earned a few dinks over the years but nothing serious. This fine and rare Winchester 1866 would make an incredible addition to a collection of historical Winchesters. If this rifle could talk it would probably tell tales of adventure and danger.
