Went to a gun show this weekend in Sweetwater, Texas. It is the same time every year and usually the best in this area. There are always plenty of “old west” stuff, my favorite. Well, as you would know it I spied this Winchester new model 1886 that I just couldn’t stop thinking about. There was a pretty good crowd of folks there so I made one complete round so I could see mostly everything to see if there was anything I liked better than the 1886 I had seen. Didn’t see anything that really gripped my fancy like the 86 did so I went back to where it was. I asked the owner what his out the door price was and he quoted me a price $200 less than what he had it marked so I counted it out and handed it to him. We shook hands and sealed the deal and now it is enjoying a space next to my other two 1886’s. 😊

I can not find this rifle catalogued anywhere. It is a new Miroku made Winchester 1886 Deluxe T/D Rifle with half octaon half round barrel in 45-70 with what looks like a German silver or nickel plated forearm nose cap and crescent butt plate. Any help with identifying who the distributer is/was would be greatly appreciated.

THAT is down-right appetizing! Great find whatever it is. How is it marked?

It has the standard Winchester roll mark and the Miroku, Japan, BACO roll marks on the barrel. The only thing I can find different than my other 86's is on the right side of the barrel about 2" forward of the receiver is roll marked
1886 DELUXE LIMITED SERIES.

Very nice 86. I have the Deluxe T/D model. I'll get it out of the safe tomorrow and look at the roll marks.

L-Ray, does yours have the silver nose cap and butt plate and half round half octagon barrel?

Beautiful score Shiloh!

I have noticed that there are some limited/exclusives that don't always show up on the Winchester website. One in particular I recall from about a year ago was an 1886 Deluxe Silver. The receiver, forend cap and butt plate were stainless steel color not unlike the parts on yours. I saw two or three such specimens for sale on GB about a year ago. Could not and still cannot find it anywhere in Winchesters website in current or discontinued model categories.

Yours looks very similar to this limited exclusive that was offered through Davidson's this year. Only apparent exception is your silver pieces.

Ride-Red, that one too is a 45-90 calber and mine is a 45-70. I have found others online that were sold by Davidsons that are like mine incluuding caliber but they do not have the silver nose cap and butt plate.

Beautiful gun. I have my name on a list to be notified when one comes in for me at a large dealer. I hope it ends up looking as nice as yours.

I failed to catch that. Funny how some models seem to slip under the radar.

Nice looking rifle.

No, mine are blued. Sorry, I did not get the info off the barrel. I'll dig it out of the back of the safe tomorrow.

OK, got mine our oof the safe today and it is marked the same as yours on the half round half octagon barrel. But like I said my fore end cap and butt place are blued. Also, I'm jealous of the stock on yours. I thought mine was nice until I saw yours.

Beautiful rifle - well above my pay grade!

 

[Brandi]

Break out the peanut butter because I am jelly!!!! That is absolutely beautiful. Congrats to you! I've had an 1886 on my wishlist (aka ain't never gonna happen list lol) forever. Beautiful wood and I'm a huge fan of the silver accents.

 

[BRatigan]

Wow, that stock is awesome. I have a blued one, made by Miroku in '99. They shoot. Congratulations.
