Winchester 1886 Short

WIP by Neil Peart

Based in the lever-action design seen in the Winchester 1866, the Winchester 1886 continued the trend of chambering heavier rounds and featured an all-new and stronger locking-block action than the toggle-link model 1876. This particular rifle was designed by John Moses Browning (becoming most known for his Browning 1911), who had a long and profitable relationship with Winchester.

Chambered in the powerful .45-70 Government cartridge, this was yet the largest caliber chambered in a Winchester repeating rifle.
