This is a very nice Deluxe Model 1886 FOFMCB s/n 61233 w/ a special ordered 28” Bbl., Mfg’d 1891. The 2X Burl Walnut stocks are solid, not sanded or fooled with and proud to all the metal parts w/ very minor surface marks of normal wear, there is a small chip at the rear of the upper tang. No rust, pitting or dents to any of the metal parts, There are several surface black blemishes on the forend of the bbl. The recvr. was initially color cased as I believe all early 86’s were, it’s now mostly silvered out but there are faint traces of color, especially on the lever and hammer. The bore is typical black powder, I’d rate it @ 5-6+ on the 10pt. scale…very shootable w/ distinct lands & grooves and no bulges. Action locks up tight at half cock and functions smoothly.
Assembly numbers – 222 are stamped on the inletted upper tang of the butt stock, on the toe of the butt stock under the plate and on the inside toe of the butt plate and 222 XX is stamped into the lft. lower tang under the butt stock. – Was – $11,050.00 – Now – $9050.00 includes Fed-x Grd. shipping
