Winchester Model 1886 38-56
Description:
Winchester Model 1886 made by Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1903. This one has a 22" blued full octagon barrel with 2-line Winchester address, caliber marking of 38-56 W.C.F., bead blade front sight, and notch adjustable rear sight. Blued solid frame receiver with blued full tubular magazine, plain trigger, and tang marked "MODEL 1886". Plain walnut stock with crescent steel buttplate and matching plain walnut forearm. Having a letter performed on this rifle factory research does not indicate barrel length in these cases the rifle is usually 26" standard length. But doing research in the Madis book, barrels should measure 1/8" less than length, which is true on this gun where the actual measurement is 21 -7/8". The magazine band is 3 - 1/2" from tip of magazine, which is found on this gun. This gun has all the traits of a correct short rifle. Whether it is an actual 1886 Winchester short rifle or a rifle that had the barrel cut done and had work done on it at some point to reflect a short rifle cannot determine for sure. But the rifle has been refinished in the past and it was done professionally and is a very good looking rifle
CONDITION: 98% remaining of a total re blue with some light handling marks. The stocks have been lightly cleaned with usage dings and marks. The bore has some pits with strong rifling and with good mechanics, cycles and locks up well.
This is my personal rifle and I have reloaded and shot it and it is pretty accurate. The 38-56 is a powerful round, not unpleasant to shoot, and not to be confused with the 38-55. The 38-56 is based on the 45-70 case and its pretty easy to reform that case to 38-56 just using a die set.
This gun ships with 20pcs of 38-56 rounds made from reformed 45-70 cases. The rounds ship separately from the rifle.
