We have a Winchester Model 1886 chambered in .33 WCF
Based on John Browning patent, the model 1886 was one of the finest and strongest lever-actions ever utilized in a Winchester rifle. Winchester introduced the Model 1886 in order to take advantage of the more powerful centerfire cartridges of the time.
Model 1886 Rifles and carbines were furnished with black walnut stocks, case hardened frames and blued barrels and magazine tubes. In 1901 Winchester discontinued the use of case hardened frames on all its rifles and used blued frames instead. For this reason, case hardened Model 1886 rifles will bring a premium. Winchester provided a large selection of extra cost options on the model 1886, and for rifles with these options, a separate evaluation should be made by a reliable source. The model 1886 was produced from 1886 to 1935 with about 160,000 in production.
The most popular caliber was the .45-70 Government. Prices of the 1886 are influenced by caliber, with the largest calibers bringing a premium. The 1886 was available in several different configurations.
This Winchester is the Extra Lightweight Rifle, 22” round barrel, full or half magazine with straight-grip stock fitted with a shotgun rubber buttplate and plain forearm.
This rifle is between very good and good condition and is on sale for $2100 plus taxes.
