I have a 1886 Winchester That was rebarrled to 348 Winchester. Serial number on frame puts production in 1896. The 348 Barrel does not fit into the equation unless it was done after maybe 1935? or when 348 came out?
Don't what to hijack this thread will start my own! I'm really trying to figure this gun out.
A lot of personal interest envoled!
So:
A close friend of mind was selling this gun to me, in the process he has passed away.
It had belonged to his dad who is also longtime gone, so I could not get any history on rifle. He was selling because of the cost of Ammo, an that it kicked like a mule with the metal butt plate.
So my question is, 1886 Winchester rechambered in 348 Winchester, maybe some time in the 30's IDK? What is the value?
Looking for help!
Will pull it out of the safe for pictures to help"
Has a unique Scope mount that pivots to the side to allow case ejection!
Thanks to any one who may be able to help!
