With all that said about the price on the 86 rifle, what's an original 86 carbine in 45-90, 65% condition worth?

Photographs would be a big help.

Mike… I’ll let you shoot it after you pay for it. -Ben

Tempting proposition but it could be even more expensive and my only 45-90 (1874 C. Sharps) prefers bullets somewhat heavier and I'd have to hunt down a suitable 1885 or 1886 to do these old rounds justice. I like the idea but my fantasies are much more affordable than reality. I like the loading info on the box!

For shipping, rounds will removed from original box and shipped in plastic box. Original box will have styrofoam fitted inside and then wrapped in bubble wrap. With a lifetime supply of foam peanuts in the shipping box. 😎

For anyone wanting to ship sporting ammunition via UPS Ground service, here is the label to put on at least two sides of your box. It replaces the old "ORMD" label.

1890's I believe is a little early for for those. Round corner 45-90, I'm thinking around 1904 was when they were introduced. First box is pretty nice, I did notice the split in the top cover tho. I would be interested. I will PM you.

Circa late 1890’s - early 1900’s. First box is very nice. Ammo is original... see pics, feel free to ask questions. It's $475. plus shipping. The second box shows wear and has a hole on the bottom at one end. I have most of the missing piece for the new owner to "restore". There are 5 original rounds and 7 Remington rounds... $245. plus shipping. Buy them both for $600. plus shipping. If there's no interest here, they will go to Tulsa and Reno next month. Please PM with questions. Cheers. Ben
