Description:
Antique WINCHESTER Model 1885 LOW WALL In .25 WCF
Winchester’s First Single Shot Rifle Made in 1891
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall Rifle, chambered in .25 WCF, made in 1891 in New Haven, Connecticut. Ironically, this 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.
The top of the barrel is marked “MANUFACTURED BY THE/WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN CONN. U.S.A.”. The rear of the barrel is marked “25 W.C.F.” This rifle features a very desirable tang-mounted rear peep sight with a fine, hooded crosshair front sight. Barrel weight is “1”. Also included are two old scope mounts on the top of the barrel.
The overall condition is near fine. The original blue finish is 75% with silvered case colors remaining on the receiver. The markings are clear and legible. The stock is in great shape. The bore is clean and bright with strong rifling. The action is excellent. This will make an excellent target rifle yet!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 28 inch.
Caliber: .25 Winchester Center Fire
