serial #135823, 50 Express, 26'' octagon barrel with a full magazine and an about very good bore showing light pitting, greater towards the chamber, but still with clear rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1905-vintage rifle retain about 99% excellent quality restored rust blue with beginnings of operational wear on the magazine tube from takedown and some scattered previous pinprick pitting beneath the finish. The checkered capped pistolgrip deluxe walnut stock and forend are in excellent condition as professionally restored showing only the remnants of miniscule chipping at the base of the forend and a light handling mark or two, the steel widow's peak buttplate just a touch proud at the toe. The stock displays lovely feathercrotch figure through the butt, and the stock and buttplate match the ''803 XX'' assembly number on the lower tang. The metal markings are intact and clear with the barrel address appearing restruck, though the barrel appears original as the underside of the barrel shows the correct factory markings. The rifle is sighted with a beaded blade ''Winchester Express'' front sight and a ''Winchester Express'' rear sight with one standing and one folding leaf with platinum inlaid line, marked for 50 and 200 yards, and the takedown functions correctly. A nicely restored Model 1886 in a desirable cartridge. (14B11631-7) {C&R} (4000/6000)
