Here's 'yer chance, Gents...

To buy a great rarity. Just think, for only $8Gs you can own a fantasy 1886 .50 EX carbine, complete with Browning High Grade wood. The seller claims "original" 1886 action, but that could mean a recent Miroku TD, but more than likely made up from a .33 W.C.F. rifle. I have seen better sell for less than $2500, but this one is "special". HA!

Description for Item # 239181336


Custon built to the highest standards from an original 1886 takedown rifle. It is in 99%+ condition throughout. Nice casecoloring on reciever, Tang sight, fancy Winchester slot filler, "H" style checkering on what appears to be AAA wood - not original stocking or barrel(?). Barrel is Winchester marked but not sleeved(?). Comes with some ammo and brass. Does not appear to be fired but some brass is spent. One of a kind - you are not likely to have a chance at another. FFL or C&R $50 S&H. Insurance at your request. Less than half the price of a comparable well-known restorers price not counting the original gun. Check the Guns Intl website. How many TAKEDOWN 1886 carbines have you seen - in 50EX no less (takedown assy is also original Winchester)
