Description

Winchester, Model 1866, Third Variation, .44 Henry Cal., MFG. Antique, SN: 44202, Lever Action Rifle, 24 1/4'' Octagon barrel, Full mag. This rifle sustained a break or crack of the lower tang at the edge of the receiver, which was nicely & professionally repaired. The wood stocks are very good & solid, however they were sanded & carry a darkened oil stained appearance. The stocks display numerous small nicks, gouges & contusions, especially on left side of stock. The metal finish on the barrel has fully toned to a full coverage dark chocolate brown, with thinning on the mag. The brass receiver, forend cap & buttplate have a darker brown mustard tone & some staining. Bore is fair to good, with cleaned pitting & roughness amongst solid rifling. The action is tight when it's cycled. Consignor mentioned this rifle saw very little use, with a small number of rounds ever fired. Barrel mounted with the correct flip-up ladder rear sight, slide graduation to 900 yds & good snap & a tight ladder. The barrel also carries a long blade front sight. Consistent with the 3rd model, it has the block font SN stamped behind the trigger on lower tang. Rifle has the hinged trapdoor crescent buttplate. Fitted with an early factory sling loop in the fore cap & stock. This is a rustic 1866. displaying the character of authentic frontier use. Great antique brass rifle.* Antique, No FFL Req. - Value: 6000 to 10000
