The John M. Browning-penned Winchester Model 1886 was developed as an improvement to the Model 1876. The 86’s all-new and considerably stronger locking-block action accommodated the increasingly-popular heavier rounds. This example from 1903 in saddle ring carbine configuration is chambered for .45-70 Government.
