Description:
Antique WINCHESTER M1885 LOW WALL .25-20 WCF Single Shot Rifle WILD WEST
Single Shot AMERICAN FRONTIER Rifle Made in 1893
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall Rifle, chambered in .25-20 Winchester Center Fire, made in 1893 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 of 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. Refinished in brown. The bore has been sleeved and is bright with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. The stock has a split on the right side at the wrist and a repair at the left side of the wrist and is otherwise solid.
