Winchester 1886 Short Rifle 4570 24-inch 8rd BL WD

Overview

The strong and reliable action of the Winchester Model 1886 was designed to handle the then-new heavier 45-70 Govt. cartridge developed by the U.S. Government in 1873. The Model 1886 Short Rifle features a deeply-blued receiver barrel and lever along with a matching blued steel end cap and steel crescent buttplate. The classic straight grip Grade I walnut stock allows quick shouldering and has an elegant satin finish. The full-length tubular steel magazine holds six 45-70 Govt. cartridges. The receiver is drilled and tapped for the addition of an optional receiver sight. A top-tang safety adjustable rear buckhorn style sight and a gold bead Marble Arms front sight complete the graceful profile of this historic model. Like the other historical rifle models production is limited.
