Special Order Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter and Documented 30 inch Extra Length Barrel

Manufactured in 1888 with the extra length 30 inch octagon barrel. The top of the barrel flat has the two-line address ahead of the rear sight and "38-56 WCF" at the breech. The tangs of the casehardened receiver marked "-MODEL 1886-" in one-line on the upper tang and the two-line :1884/1885" patent dates behind the set trigger and serial number on the end of lower tang. Blade front sight and a rear adjustable buckhorn sporting sight. Blue barrel, full length magazine tube and bolt, with casehardened finish on the frame and remaining metal surfaces, and mounted with a smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock with a steel end cap and crescent buttplate. The accompanying factory letter verifies the rifle configuration and that it was received in the warehouse on May 12, 1888 and shipped in order number 1744 on that same day. It was also repaired and returned on November 19,1904, in order numbered 254542.

ConditionGood as partially refinished. Traces of faded original blue finish is present on the barrel. The base of the barrel exhibits vise marks on both sides with areas of cold blue touch up. The receiver has silvered out original case colors with the overall balance a smooth gray patina. The magazine has a smooth mottled gray and brown patina. The wood is fine with a few minor gouges and some minor handling marks.
