Description:
This a restored Winchester 1885 with a thick sided action, and double set triggers in caliber 38-55. The restoration work was done by Neslon Guns of Oregon in 2016, and is so marked on the barrel( See the pics). The barrel is 30" long and features a perfect bore with a left hand twist. The previous owner is of the opinion that its an un-signed Schoyen barrel. It could have been done by Barry Barr many years ago but Im not sure and I cant say its not a Schoyen barrel. either.
The length of pull is 13" long and that schutzen buttplate is an original. The wood is solid and without any issues. The DSTs work perfectly and it has the schutzen lever which was painstakenly shaped and sculpted. The scope is a brass tube type and I have been told it is an early winchester made scope with their unique mounts and target blocks. The scope does not feature the Pope rail. The brass construction is showing through where the finish has worn or flaked off. The optics are VERY clear and the reticle is a medium standard cross wire. The scope measures 18" long and is possibly and 8X power. This rifle came to me from a well known collector in the Portland area and I took it in trade for a Ballard.
In the courser of its history the original serial numbers have been removed. So it is a NVSN (No Visible Serial Number) antique rifle. I can say that the action is clearly an early gun as it has the thick sided reciever and uses a leaf spring.
It will ship to your FFL since it was restored in 2016 and it will ship via FedEx. The shipping will be calculated once I know where its going. We accept both VISA or MC with the 3% fee, or you can send a cashiers check or even a personal check. We do not and cannot accept any money orders.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Strength and Honor!
