ONE OF THE LAST PRODUCED 1886 TAKEDOWN .33 WCF, 1/2 MAG. SHOTGUN BUTT, #157XXX

Description:
INTERESTING, ONE OF THE LAST 1886 TAKEDOWN .33 WCF, HALF MAGAZINE, SHOTGUN BUTT, #157XXX, SHIPPED AS PARTS CLEAN UP SOMETIME AFTER 1920. According to the Winchester Handbook by George Madis, "Serial number 156599 was the highest number produced in standard production. It was shipped on December 8, 1920. A fair stock of parts and assembled guns remained on hand, and in the final parts clean-up serials reached 159994, with the last guns assembled in 1932..." By the serial number, this one is listed as made in 1920 and during that year only 391 1886s were made. By 1922 serials reached 159337 with 228 made. What this means is simply that these high numbered 1886 rifles were made in very limited numbers and were finally killed off by the Great Depression and then replaced with the Model 71 in .348 WCF. This example shows use, but no abuse. The receiver has flaked to gray which is typical of guns made in the 1920s. The bolt retains fine blue and the barrel and magazine show good thinning blue. It has a D. W. King thick, full buckhorn rear sight with a blade/bead front sight. Takedown is tight and the stock and forearm show light handling only with very tight wood to metal fit. Correct and original Winchester embossed hard rubber butt plate is not chipped or cracked. Action is tight with strong safety half-cock and the bore is bright and excellent. The .33 WCF is simply the .45-70 case necked down to take standard .338" bullets. It was considered a powerful big game cartridge and was the only purely smokeless powder cartridge offered in the 1886. A scarce late production '86 with lots of life left in it. $2250.
