	Looks like a nice rifle but is it chambered for too high a chamber pressure cartridge? It seems to me that it is. I was thinking of bidding on it but I am a little leary. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	Low Walls were chambered in pistol calibers. 222 rimmed is probably 45,000 psi. This is an Winder Musket and was probably not heat treated.

	Back in the 70's I had a Low Wall which had been sleeved to 218 Bee. Never had any problems with it, but I have no idea what the chamber presures were. George Salmon, Idaho

	I'd buy it, if it was cheap enough. But I'd change the barrel out to a more suitable caliber.

	Too much club. Buy it and change it to a sutiable caliber if you can get it cheap enough. 40 Rod

	I decided I did not need any more projects and did not bid. It went for I consider the value of the action and barrel. Could have been a good project for someone but not me.
