c1890 Antique WINCHESTER Model 1885 LOW WALL .32 Short SINGLE SHOT Rifle
Designed by John Moses Browning!
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall Rifle, chambered in .32 Short, made in 1890 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Model 1885 Single Shot rifle was famed gun designer John M. Browning’s first design and patent, and it was the first single shot to be built by Winchester. The patent for the Model 1885 rifle was what brought Browning and the Winchester Repeating Arms Company together for the beginning of their eventual 19-year association. Nearly 140,000 Model 1885s (both Low Walls and High Walls) were manufactured from September 1885 to June of 1920.
There were two basic frame types, referred to as “High Wall” and “Low Wall”, made. The frame types refer to the height of the receiver sides, and its relationship to the breech block. With the High Wall version, built for the more powerful cartridges, just the top of the breech block is visible when viewed from the side. The Low Wall, chambered for all of the various rim fire cartridges, and most of the pistol caliber center fire cartridges, exposes the upper 1/3 of the breech block.
The overall condition is good. Modestly refinished some time ago. The action (hammer/trigger) remains strong. This one has a single set trigger that is missing the adjustment screw. The trigger does not set at present and does not need to be set in order for the gun to work. The bore is dim (not very reflective) with visible, but worn rifling. This rifle has been restocked and the butt stock has a rather thin cheek rest. This rifle has the barrel mounted semi-buckhorn rear sight and blade front sight, with a tang mounted peep sight behind the action.
