Winchester is running a contest where the Grand Prize is a Commemorative 1866..............Is winchester bringing out a "new" 1866 or are they giving away a vintage 1866. Nowhere does it spell this out.

Original '66s were chambered for the rim fire .44 Henry Flat cartridge, same as the original Henry rifles.
This one appears to be chambered for the .44 WCF, which requires a somewhat longer lifter and forward receiver..

Wow! And only $3300!!! That's a big savings over what originals get.
Pre WWI Marlins and Singleshot rifles!
