c1890 Antique WINCHESTER Model 1885 HIGH WALL .38-40 WCF SINGLE SHOT Rifle
With Long 30 INCH OCTAGON BARREL, Tang Peep Sight
Description: c1890 Antique WINCHESTER Model 1885 HIGH WALL .38-40 WCF SINGLE SHOT Rifle With Long 30 INCH OCTAGON BARREL, Tang Peep Sight Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1885 High Wall Rifle chambered in .38-40 Winchester Center Fire, made in 1890 in New Haven, Connecticut. This one has a No. 3 weight 30” octagonal barrel, both a barrel mounted semi-buckhorn rear sight and a tang-mounted peep, blade front sight, and crescent butt plate. The Winchester Model 1885 has a 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. It 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. Original finish and case colors. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The walnut stock is solid and in great shape. A scarce 1885 with the long, heavier octagonal barrel in .38-40! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 30 inches. Caliber: .38-40 Winchester Center Fire 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 #228456 SOLD Antique: Yes |
