  Got a Winchester Model 1886 from my dad who got it from his dad. Story goes my grandfather bought the rifle as a 40-82 but shells would not work. Took back and gunsmith who said it was marked wrong at the factory and remarked it to a 45-70. That?s what it is today. Can this be true.

  Hello Mike...
  
  With the barrel in your left hand, and the buttstock in your right hand, read the serial number.
  
  The early made Model 1886s were color case hardened vs. blued.
