#4961 Winchester 1886 RBFMCB 45/70, 14XXX range (1888), Ex.Fine-Excellent bore and action
Description: #4961 Winchester 1886 RBFMCB 45/70, 14XXX range (1888), Ex.Fine-Excellent bore and action (about a 9+ on a scale of 10) with no bad spots except for having some light black powder residue in the grooves. Very fine wood with no slivers or serious dings except for one pressure bruise on the left lower tang (see photo) and otherwise having a fine tight fit to the metal. Fine crisp-edged metal and just a thin mottled grey-grown patina on the frame and 95% coverage of a 70% density blue on the barrel and magazine. Open front sight and scarce three leaf Express rear barrel sight. This handsome old Winchester has obviously had VERY decent care in its 127 years of life and is WELL above the “average” 1886 that can be found in all but the better high-end gun shows. A fine gun with a great bore in a very popular caliber. Okay….so much for the “hype”. Now in my opinion, this VERY nice looking gun has either had some really expertly done cosmetic upgrading by fogging on some barrel and mag blue, or the barrel might have been replaced by a better one. There just seems (to me) to have TOO much barrel and mag finish as compared to the browned out frame case color …so one should probably value this rifle MAINLY for its shooting and nostalga value and less for the collector value. $2995 SOLD Antique: Yes |
