This video showcases a rare, deluxe Winchester Model 1886 rifle chambered in .45-70, presented by experts from Rock Island Auction Company. The rifle features premium 'special order' options like a half-round, half-octagon barrel, deluxe wood, and a Lyman peep sight. Its most notable aspect is its 'Lend-Lease' history, having been sent to Britain during WWII for defense against a potential Nazi invasion and subsequently returned.

The Remington No.7 Rolling Block Target Rifle, produced from 1903-1910, is a rare collector's item. It repurposed surplus pistol frames into high-end rifles, featuring a color case hardened receiver, checkered wood, and a sophisticated tang-mounted aperture sight system. With only 350 units made and an original price of $24, it represents a unique piece of Remington's firearms history.
