…"In my book" a M1886 carbine in .50 Express fits easily into the, "something special" category.

Bert I have a 1894 .32 Special Serial # 1432816, could you please tell me what date of manufacture it is?
Your Flat-band Carbine was manufactured in June 1947.

I am looking at a Model 1886 Carbine to buy. It would be in "Like New Condition". So, I am not sure if it real or is it Memorex? That condition in an antique Winchester is very rare…

Probably not many dealers back then selling "Loose" cartridges. Probably not many gun owners back then that owned both a Winchester Model 1886 and a Colt Lighting Magazine Rifle in 45-85.
