�Collectors� Manufactured in 1992 as per serial number. This is a Browning model 1886 Carbine, a reproduction of the original Winchester which was, ironically, designed by John Browning. The 1886 followed up the 1876, providing a much stronger action which was able to withstand larger and more powerful cartridges such as the .45-70 Govt, the issue rifle cartridge of the U.S. Army at the time. This modern reproduction has the same action and was produced as a limited edition between 1992-1993 with only 3,000 made. The brushed stainless steel receiver features fine engraving of a game scenes with molded gold bear and deer. The engraver�s mark reads �T.MOR�. The front sight is a blade pinned to a slotted base fixed to the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a folding ladder-style sight showing a �U�-notch when folded down. When folded up, the crosspiece has a �U�-notch and the ladder is graduated from �0� to �20� with single hashes and markings in increments of 5, High Grade walnut checkered banded forend and a checkered straight grip, sling ring on the receiver, and carbine-style steel buttplate. The LOP measures 13 ��. The deep blued finished barrel is exquisite, and then there’s the Browning signature gold trigger. Includes the original factory box. �This rifle is in un fired condition�!
