Photos of newer '86 done by Mike Hunter
A couple of days ago Mike Hunter contacted me and asked if I would be interested in converting new Browning or Japanese Winchesters '86s to look like old ones since he is not offering that service any longer.
Mike suggested that I ask some of ya'll to supply me with some photos of new '86s that have been converted to look like old ones since he has done this to many of yours.
So what I am looking for is photos of '86s but more importantly pics of the tang area that the saftey's have been welded up to look like old ones, and the -1886- markings on the tang.
Thank you in advance.

SteveB has just such pics on his blog:

Look down the left side where it has the articles listed: Winchester/Miroku '86 Mods/Custom Work/Continued. Farther down is the first part.

I would be one willing to have this conversion applied to my Winnie '86 in 45-90. Remove the safety, weld it up and re-stamp the tang.
Even though the Marble's tang site covers the safety so one can't see it, it's still there. Plus, the rebounding hammer. I'd like that removed and the good ole half cock safety feature put in it's place (R&R the hammer w/Browning and the required ancillary components).

Mike did one of my guns and added a FM, too. I have posted pics several times, so guess it can be done again.
Tang with saferty slot welded and remarked same as early 20 C 1886.
Japan markings spun away and barrel remarked like original lightweight '86.
Barrel marked "nickel steel" as early 1900s rifles were.
New full magazine added. Mag threads out as original "A" serial number suffix.
My gun sits all forlorn awaiting a PG buttstock that is proving to be a very difficult score.
