For sale is an antique Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Short Rifle. At some point the octagonal barrel was shortened to 22”, making an extremely handy rifle. Chambered in its original .45-90. Good bore and mechanism and should be a good shooter. The wood is excellent but is probably new wood (well fit). Has a 3/4 magazine tube. The barrel has excellent address and cal markings 45-90 W.C.F. The Receiver has the Model 1886 marking on the top tang and the lower tang has the serial #47689 indicating mfg'd 1890 and patent dates. The receiver also has traces of case coloring in protected areas but mostly case color turning nickel finish. The bolt has original blue finish. The barrel and mag tube have an aged grey brown patina finish.

Asking $2500. Antique, so meeting should be easy.
