GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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.
ALL OTHER GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS ARE THE SAME AS FOUND IN
THE MODEL 1886 OWNER’S MANUAL. IF
YOUR MANUAL IS MISSING PLEASE

COPY — BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE
YOUR NEW RIFLE.
