Description:
1886 .45-70 EXTRA LIGHTWEIGHT RIFLE WITH NICKEL STEEL BARREL, #122XXX, MADE 1900. Fine example that shows good thinning blue on the correct 22" barrel- mainly thinning a little ahead of the forend and a silvered spot ahead of the receiver ring. The receiver shows good blue in the rear portions of both sides and on the bolt. The bottom and front sections of the receiver are gray as this is the balance point when carrying in the hand. Flat top buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact with Lyman half-moon/ivory bead front sight. The stock and forend show no sanding or refinishing and are the classic Winchester reddish/brown color with tight wood to metal fit and showing only light handling. Original Winchester embossed hard rubber shotgun butt plate. Exc. markings including the NICKEL STEEL stamping on the barrel side, tight action with strong safety half-cock. Bright excellent sharp bore. Overall, a fine, un-messed with 126 year old 1886 in desirable .45-70 caliber.
