G ENERAL D ESCRIPTION
Your new Model 1886 has unique features found only
on the takedown model. The primary difference is the
addition of a mechanism that allows you to separate the
barrel/forearm half of the rifle from the receiver half of
the rifle. The takedown design utilizes an interrupted
thread system on the barrel extension and receiver,
and a special mechanism on the end of the magazine
tube which allows you to disengage the barrel from
the receiver.

WARNINGS ARE THE SAME AS FOUND IN
