A Portuguese Model 1886 Kropatschek 8×60 Kropatschek Corto Bolt Action Rifle in good condition with a dark and defined bore. The action appears to function properly but is in need of heavy cleaning due to the bolt being very hard to action. The finish has heavy patina with remnants of original finish. The Kropatschek rifle of 1886 (often referred to as the Model 1886 or M1886 Kropatschek) was a significant bolt-action repeating rifle developed by Austrian artillery officer and firearms designer Alfred von Kropatschek. It represented one of the more advanced military rifles of the mid-to-late 1880s transition period from single-shot black-powder designs to repeating arms, and it played a notable role in the evolution of smokeless-powder firearms.
