This desirable Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Carbine, manufactured in 1893, is chambered in the powerful and highly sought-after .50-110 Winchester cartridge. Designed by the legendary John Moses Browning, the Model 1886 was developed to handle the large-caliber cartridges of the late 19th century and remains one of Winchester's most respected lever-action designs. The combination of the Model 1886 carbine configuration and substantial .50-110 chambering makes this an especially interesting example of Winchester's big-bore repeating firearms.
Accompanying the carbine is a Cody Firearms Records Office serial-number search, which records the rifle as a Model 1886 carbine chambered in .50-110 and confirms that its serial number was applied on September 20, 1893. The surviving factory records provide valuable historical documentation of its original recorded type and caliber. With its early production date, desirable carbine configuration, powerful .50-110 chambering, and supporting Cody factory records, this Winchester Model 1886 represents a compelling example of late-19th-century American firearms history and a noteworthy addition to an advanced Winchester collection.
