1886 Early Production Antique WINCHESTER M1885 HIGH WALL .40-90 BALLARD
Serial Number 615!
Description: 1886 Early Production Antique WINCHESTER M1885 HIGH WALL .40-90 BALLARD Serial Number 615! Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1885 High Wall Rifle chambered in .40-90 Ballard, made circa 1886 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Winchester Model 1885 has falling block action, and two models were produced, the Low Wall and the High Wall. 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. This gun was produced principally to satisfy the demands of the growing sport of long-range “Match Shooting”, which opened at Creedmoor, New York, on June 21, 1872. Target/Match shooting was extremely popular in the United States from about 1871 until about 1917, enjoying a status similar to golf today, and the Winchester company, which had built its reputation on repeating firearms, had in 1885 challenged the single-shot giants of Sharps, Remington, Stevens, Maynard, and Ballard, not only entering the competition, but excelling at it, with Major Ned H. Roberts (inventor of the .257 Roberts cartridge) describing the Model 1885 Single Shot as “the most reliable, strongest, and altogether best single shot rifle ever produced.” The overall condition is near fine. The barrel has been replaced and bears the Winchester legend on top. Original blue finish on the barrel. Some case colors still visible on the frame and breech block. There is evidence of the rifle once having a tang mounted peep sight. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The stock shows use and remains solid throughout. A beautiful rifle in a powerful cartridge for the day! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 30 inches. Caliber: .40-90 Ballard Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $3200 #244258 SOLD Antique: Yes |
