1888 Antique WINCHESTER M1886 Lever Action Rifle .35 Remington Conversion
With Compass Embedded in the Stock
Description: 1888 Antique WINCHESTER M1886 Lever Action Rifle .35 Remington Conversion With Compass Embedded in the Stock Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle, with the receiver made in 1888 in New Haven, Connecticut. It has been subsequently reconfigured to the current configuration including being re-barreled and re-stocked. The Model 1886 was a collaboration between John Moses Browning and his brother, Matthew Sandifer Browning, to build a big game rifle to replace the Model 1876. This was Browning’s first repeating rifle design adopted by Winchester. The 1886 rifle, often called “the best rifle in the world”, even made Theodore Roosevelt, later President of the United States, very fond of the large caliber Model 1886 repeating rifle during his western adventures on the plains. From 1886 through 1935, almost 160,000 carbines and rifles were produced with calibers that ranged from the smaller .33 WCF to the largest, .50-100 WCF, with the most popular caliber being the .45-70 WCF and the .45-90 WCF. This rifle was a great improvement over the Model 1876. Its shorter, streamlined frame proved very popular and was well received by sportsmen, shooters, and law enforcement groups alike. The Model 1886 continued the trend towards chambering heavier rounds and had an all-new and considerably stronger locking-block action than the toggle-link Model 1876. The overall condition is good. Barreled to .35 Remington. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The receiver has a Redfield peep sight mounted. The stock has a small chip and a stable crack at the top left side of the wrist, otherwise solid. Inlaid compass in the right rear buttstock. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 24-3/4 inches. Caliber: .35 Remington Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1800 #230559 SOLD Antique: Yes |
