Winchester 1866 Flatside Saddle Ring Carbine
Description: Winchester 1866 First Model SRC .44 RF s/n 14820 mfg 1867 - 20” round Henry-marked barrel; full mag; flat loading gate; early carbine rear sight; “extra finish” or 1-x grade walnut stocks. The First Model 1866 was originally promoted by Winchester in their marketing materials as the “Improved Henry” and is often referred to by today’s collectors as a “flatside” ‘66. From the receiver back through the buttplate, all parts are from the Henry Rifle with two major modifications. One is the addition of a saddle ring, and the second is a King’s Patent loading gate system which is integrated into right side of the receiver. Some first models have conical loading gates, while others have the earlier-type and more desirable flat shaped gate with retaining spring. The front section of first model 1866s are made of all new/improved parts designed by B. Tyler Henry and Oliver F. Winchester to reduce the bulkiness and weight of the Henry. Of the approximately 2,500 manufactured, only about 200 -300 have survived today as most saw extremely hard use on the American frontier in usually extreme adverse climatic conditions with little or no maintenance. Receiver has sharp edges and a dark patina of age with no signs of polishing; barrel, magazine tube and other steel parts are very dark with some light surface pitting. Stocks have nice grain figuring, in excellent condition with some light handling marks; mechanics are excellent; bore has strong rifling, slightly dark with some light pitting; three-piece cleaning rod in butt; all number are correct and matching. Includes letter of authentication by the noted Winchester historian and author, George Madis. The first model 1866 is the start of any Winchester collection and this is a rare opportunity to own one that is original and correct in every respect as authenticated by George Madis and at a very reasonable price.
