1886 rifle help?

I am looking for a nice shooter, don't want one with a safety. Browning made some nice ones a few years back with blued receivers. I would like a case colored version, where would you find one. None on Gunbroker, thanks

Legacy Sports imports an 1886.

Taylor & Co also sells an imported 1886

If you've got lots of money to spend, look no further than Turnbull

If it were me, I'd be patient and keep checking gun broker, guns america, auction arms, etc. until I found a Browning 86.
Another option would be to buy one of the current Winchesters, and send it off to Turnbull. He will delete the safety, weld up the slot where the safety was, and replace the rebounding hammer parts with old style parts. There are probably other gunsmiths who do this kind of work too.
