I looked at the gun at Maitland show, with others (you know who Chris), barrel and mag looks to have an old refinish, the screw heads dont compliment the condition of the bbl and mag, starting at $125000AUD, plus juice thats its value, but others may view it different.

now 13000. I have found the estimated prices to be often 30-50% more on hammer fall.

I’ve been reading this thread with interest. I’ve never owned a M1866 but enjoy learning. Being the first Winchester, this model occupies quite the place in history. I think the financially feasible time to get into M1866 collecting is long past – for me anyway.
I have a feeling the bidding is going to get well beyond what this piece is worth. It’s probably there already.

Although still pricey the Henry and 1866 are not at their peak. That happened some years back. No one knows which way the prices will go but probably not up again.

Well it’s about to finish, currently at $18,000 Aus.
I viewed this rifle and it is a fine Winchester.
In my opinion it is 100% original and I do not agree that the barrel and magazine have been re-finished. Screw heads are not perfect but it is an honest gun. Someone recently removed the stock disturbing that seal of originality. Shame. I do not think removing the stock was needed.
A fine Winchester, the best 1866 I have seen here. I would be proud to own this rifle.

Wowsers it just sold for $50,000 AUD. That is $32,270 USD.
Alright you yanks, what does a nice later 1866 rifle in this sort of high condition go for over there?
