Description:
Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle in 38-56 WCF
This is a Winchester 1886 Lever Action Rifle in 38-56 CF is in a standard configuration with a full 26" Octagon barrel and with a sporting rear barrel sight and blade front sight. The butt stock and fore stock are walnut with a crescent but plate.
Condition:
This Winchester 1886 rifle is in fine condition overall. The barrel of this 1905-made rifle retains perhaps 85% original blue appearing stronger under ambient light and drifting to a pleasant gray-brown patina under bright light and showing the expected light handling marks. The bore is bright near excellent showing a some mild frosting and otherwise crisp rifling throughout. The magazine tube's original blue finish ist strong retaining about 96% blue with areas toning to gray-brown patina mostly near the tip. The action retains perhaps 60% original bright blue with the balance flaking and toning to a mix of pewter gunmetal and mild gray-brown patina, some areas of loss due to some old oxidation staining and perhaps contact with an old contaminant. The bolt retains about 85% original bright blue while the hammer and lever retain some wisps of smoky case-hardened colors in the protected areas, mostly toning to a nice silvery case-hardened patina, the crescent buttplate with old surface oxidation mixing with silvery case-hardened patina. The screw heads remain mostly clean with little or no turn wear. All markings are crisp and clear. The walnut stocks rate near excellent perhaps showing a little older added oil finish with some scattered light dings and handling marks to be expected, otherwise retaining excellent fit throughout and showing nice raised grain. The rifle is equipped with standard sporting rear sight, the leaf of which shows some old welded repair, and small German silver blade front sight. The action is smooth and functions well mechanically cycling a round fine with strong lock up and ejection. This is a fine and quite attractive example of a Winchester 1886.
