 CUSTOM WINCHESTER 1885 HIGHWALL LIGHT VARMINTER, DOUBLE SET TRIGGERS

Description:
 CUSTOM WINCHESTER 1885 HIGHWALL LIGHT VARMINTER, DOUBLE SET TRIGGERS, .22 C.F. ANTIQUE. This one is unmarked but the workmanship is excellent. It features a 28" medium varmint weight round barrel that is matted the full length of the top and is fitted with scope blocks with approx. 7 1/2" spacing and no provision/dovetails for front or rear sights (a nice touch). The overall weight is approx. 10 3/4 lbs. The caliber is based on the .30-30 case necked down and is probably a .219 Zipper or Improved Zipper, or .219 Donaldson Wasp. I feigure whoever buys this one will figure it out one way or the other. Perhaps the best would be to simply re-bore it to .38-55 or .40-65 or .45-70 and end up with a fully custom rifle for a fraction of the cost of building one from scratch. Fully functional double set triggers with adjustment screw intact. Checkered pistol grip and checkered steel shotgun butt stock with nicely contoured fully checkered round forend with schnable tip all with tight wood to metal fit. The walnut has the classis redish Winchester tint and is excellent. Tight action,, exc. bore, appears to be a leaf spring action. Excellent as refinished when customized.
