Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: VERY INTERESTING AND UNUSUAL SUPER EARLY 1885 HIGHWALL SINGLE SHOT RIFLE IN .32 WCF (.32-20) WITH OCTAGON RECEIVER TOP, #93X, SHIPPED SEPTEMBER 7, 1886, when I found this rifle I called The Cody museum and it will letter exactly as it now is (call in sheet provided with the rifle), it is listed in the records as: "Rifle, .32 WCF, Round Barrel, #1 weight, 28" length, plain trigger, received in the warehouse June, 7, 1886 and shipped September 7, 1886." Only some the earliest examples have the octagon receiver top (receiver ring) and they are especially rare on light weight round barrels, this is a nice uncleaned and unaltered rifle with deep plum barrel, slightly mottled dark uncleaned receiver, exc. screws, tight action, exc. wood with tight wood to metal fit, fine bore with good rifling and only minor scattered roughness, buckhorn rear sight, small blade front sight (may be a replacement as it has a bit more blue than the rest of the rifle), usually this caliber is found in the less desirable Lowall configuration, this one is really unusual with oct. receiver top etc. Great to see such an early rifle in this kind of un-fooled with condition! SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1885 Highwall Single Shot Serial Number: 93X Caliber Info: .32-20 Condition: fine Barrels: 28" ROUND |
