The bore is fine +7 with strong rifling and areas of light corrosion. It has a full 26" octagon barrel with the 2 line Winchester barrel address. The metal surfaces have a mostly turned brown patina with areas of light edge wear. The butt plate and fore cap have the same period brown patina finish with some staining a very light pits. The legends and markings are strong and clear the serial number is faded. The screw heads are in excellent shape with only a couple showing minor turn wear. The walnut stocks are in fine shape as well, exhibiting the bumps and nicks common with a rifle this age. The overall color is even with the buttstock and forearm matching.
This rifle cycles a cartridge well and locks up firmly and ejects strongly is in excellent mechanical condition. Cycling the action with the vintage Lyman tang sight the bolt does not interfere with the sight (see picture). Large bore Winchester 1886 rifles are very popular with 45-70 being the largest number built, followed by 40-82, and then 45-90 WCF with approximately 23000 being made. With the 45-90 being one of the larger number of rifles being produced they don't seem to come up often and when they do they command a premium price. This is an excellent example of an antique Winchester 1886 rifle in a popular caliber made in 1888. It is being offered and a good price and being an antique it can be shipped directly to the buyer.
