  • Description:

    Sn150399 is a Winchester 1886 in 45-90, built in 1911.  This 1/2 mag rifle shows a bright excellent bore in its' 26" round barrel.  This rifle shows  the 1/2 mag and steel checkered butt plate mounted on what was called a "Big Stock". These are uncommon special features such as  a shorter magazine(77 built), special buttplates (867built), special wood (butt)( 501 built).  This example shows 95% blue on the barrel and mag.  The receiver shows 25% with trace color on the hammer and lever. The wood is all original to the rifle.  The left of the forewood shows some usage marks.  The butt shows minor finish wear adjoining the lever.   The balance shows most original finish and minor usage mark.This rifle was sourced out of New Brunswick.  A rifle with these features was probably brought in by an American hunter.  Many of these guns were left for return hunts or given to guides as gifts.  A very sound example of a non standard 1886 rifle.
