Description:
Winchester 1885 Low Wall “WINDER Musket” .22 Rifle
With Nice Target Sights & Leather Sling!
Here we present a Winchester 1885 Low Wall “Winder” Musket, chambered in .22 Rimfire Short, made circa 1918 in New Haven, Connecticut. Ironically, the Model 1885 was Winchester’s first single shot rifle, the company having been founded on its winning lever action repeater design. John Moses Browning, the famed gun designer who forever changed the firearms landscape, began his career with this rifle in the 19th Century before dominating the world scene in the 20th Century.
This example is one variant known as the “Winder Musket”, which was heavily influenced by Colonel C. B. Winder for use as a training rifle for troops. The idea was that it be a full-sized rifle chambered in .22 Rimfire Short so that the trainee get the weight and feel of a rifle of heavier caliber and the recoil and thrift of .22 Rimfire.
The overall condition is fine. The original blue finish is 90%. The markings are clear. The walnut stock is fine with a few handling marks. The bore is bright with nice rifling. The action is excellent.
