RARE CALIBER 1885 HIGHWALL SPORTER, .38-56 WCF, 30” #3 WEIGHT OCTAGON BARREL, #64XXX, MADE 1893

Description:
RARE CALIBER 1885 HIGHWALL SPORTER, .38-56 WCF, 30” #3 WEIGHT OCTAGON BARREL, #64XXX. I called the Cody Museum on this one and got the info that this rifle with the above caliber etc., had its serial number applied on July 14, 1893. It was received in the warehouse on January 17, 1894 and shipped 4 days later. Only 610 1885 single shots were made in .38-56 caliber making it one of the more scarce calibers in the whole line. The .38-56 differs greatly from the more common straight wall .38-55 which is based on the popular .30WCF case without a shoulder/neck and made to accept .377” bullets. This cartridge only held about 45 grains of black powder. The larger .38-56 was based on the .45-70 case necked to take .377” bullets, but held a full 56 grains of black powder. Cases can be formed from .45-70 brass. This rifle shows good aged and thinning barrel blue. The barrel shows clear Winchester markings and has a buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact along with a small blade/bead front sight. The receiver is an uncleaned silvery/gray, but retains some very light wispy traces of case color. The bore is surprisingly sharp, bright and excellent! Stock and forend show only light handling with very tight wood to metal fit. The forend has the original ebony wedge inlay in the schnable tip. Overall a very attractive and scarce caliber Highwall with a great bore. Guaranteed call-in sheet included.
