Winchester 1886

(EL-8826a) BROWNING MODEL 1886 HIGH GRADE DELUXE SADDLERING CARBINE

Caliber 45-70. A very limited run of these firearms were made by Browning-an exact copy of the 1886. Marked '1 of 3,000' on the bbl. Absolutely wonderful engraving with two grizzly bears in gold on the loading port side and 2 running buck deer on the saddlering side with a very pretty engraving of a mountain scene in the background. These are very beautiful carbines; this one is new, unfired, in the box with paperwork. e

(EL-8654) SPECIAL ORDER MODEL 1886 WINCHESTER IN 38-56

Features include: half round, half oct bbl, uncheckered pistol grip stock which is straight grained and has the crescent buttplate. Right side of receiver has a nice aged patina to it with some blue peeking out; the remainder is kind of a brownish coloration. The left side exhibits quite a bit of blue at 60% or so, bbl likewise with nice sharp edges on the octagon part, quite a bit of blue (although thinning) on the top. Most of the metal parts on this gun do have a very neat looking, almost goldish color, to them. Was probably somebody's pride and joy and hung at his bar or something. Wood is in VG cond, may have been rubbed down with a little oil at one time; one chip repair in the upper corner on left hand side using the orig piece. Good looking gun with some special order features. ~~> VIEW PHOTO <~~ e

(8474-14-301) WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 RIFLE

This gun consists of what appears to be an orig 86 saddlering receiver, the rifle bbl and mag tube were originally a 50 Express caliber but cut to approximately 22" in length, bbl retaining band is in the right place. Orig wood is generally VG; rifle style buttplate. Overall metal has turned a plum brownish coloration but still fairly smooth and clean, VG shootable bore.
