	Anyone care to take a guess as to what is going on with the High Wall in this auction? It looks like someone took a barrel/mag tube from some winchester lever gun and grafted them onto a High Wall receiver and buttstock. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I like it a lot! Could store ammo in the tube. Looks good too. Remember to use flat nose bullets. Joe.

	Looks great. Too bad it doesn't have a pistol grip with a 3 finger loop lever

	Looks like they couldn't find a magazine tube ring and soldered the front of tube to the bottom of the barrel. Wonder if they cut the magazine spring in half and installed a sliding weight in between. Strange things were done to old guns that you couldn't get factory ammo for... yep, all the ones in that pickle barrel over there, same price, your choice.

	Someone here on the forum, needs to buy it, then tell us all about it. Looks like it could double as a assault rifle, forefather of the AK Frank

	Maybe they just wanted the mag tube to hold more ammo. Simply unscrew the forearm. Unscrew the mainspring. Then twist the barrel off, take the cartridge from the mag tube and reinstall the barrel/mainspring/forearm. Easy. I'm surprised this idea never took off.

	I believe that the under-barrel tube was where they stored their rolled-up skinning and butchering diagrams for Buffler.

I see the factory hanger about 3" back from the end, as it was on Winchester repeaters. I think somebody just wanted to get their Hi Wall up and running cheaply, so grabbed an assembly from a repeater and put it on the 1885. It's weird, but would sure make people scratch their heads when you go to the range to shoot it!
