1890 vintage Winchester Model 1886 lever action rifle, serial number 40556. 26" round barrel chambered in .40-82 Winchester Centerfire with rifle rear sight, full-length magazine tube, and blade front. Two-piece plain walnut stock and forearm complete with rifle forearm cap and crescent rifle buttplate. Comes with factory letter dated April 13, 2016 confirming configuration as well as a ship date of August 05, 1890. CONDITION: Excellent, with virtually all of the original bluing remaining on barrel and magazine tube with a brown patina beginning to form over it. Frame has bright, visible case colors but is mixing with a brown-grey patina overall. Stock and forearm are very good with handling marks throughout but no major signs of distress. Action is tight and crisp. Bore is bright with sharp rifling. A far better than average condition Winchester 1886 complete with factory letter. TON
