It is a handsome Model 1886 Semi-Deluxe Sporting Rifle, and with several very nice special order features.  Definitely a rifle worthy of being added to a collection.

For educational purposes only because it is well above my pay grade, what do you think of the price? 
  

I did not see the price tag on it?
  

$10,175.00
  

That is not an unreasonable asking price considering the configuration of the rifle.

What is different between semi-deluxe and deluxe?
  

The grade of the Walnut and the checkering pattern.  Semi-deluxe (not a term Winchester used) typically have plain (straight) grained walnut stocks with I-pattern checkering.  The Fancy Sporting Rifles will have 2X or 3X walnut stocks with H-pattern checkering.

I had the great good fortune to work in Melbourne, Australia for a couple of years back in 1996/1997.  It was during this period that the government decided to ban all semi-automatic and pump-action long-guns.  Using the logic that there is functionally no difference between a pump-action and a lever-action rifle, I was able to acquire a sizable collection of lever guns including a Henry, two second model 1866 rifles (along with 4 wonderful 1866 carbines) a couple of 1892s and several 1894s including four or five trappers.  There is a considerable number of quality, collector grade Winchesters down under owing to the Aussie gold rush period in Bendigo and Ballarat as well as a period when the foreign exchange rate was favorable for the Australian collector to acquire nice collector grade pieces from the Americans, so it is no surprise that a One-of-One Thousand model 1873 surfaced there.  I'll bet there are others that will pop up in the future.

Some photos would help guide the advice we might be able to give.  As a non-member of WACA you'd have to post photos on a third-party site and put the link here OR send them to me (luttrell@musc.edu) and I'll post them for you.

I'm not sure what you mean about the trigger (trigger shoe?).  Since you have it apart, a pic of the trigger would help tell if it's the factory trigger or an aftermarket replacement.  If it's a 1945 gun you'd need an NRA style low comb stock inlet for cloverleaf tang.  I can supply pics of the correct stock once I know the serial number.

You do not need a specific stock for 270 WCF versus any other standard length cartridge stock from the period.  H&H magnums (longer magazine well inletting) need a unique stock, and the correct factory stock would lack a recoil pad...  Just look for cloverleaf tang and standard barrel contour inletting, no recoil pad, and it will work...

Best,

Lou

As a member's friendly courtesy, I think it would be nice for you to at least post the link here for other members to view it and possibly share they're opinion! 

Just Saying!
