In an earlier post, I said I'd put up some pictures of some of my other 1885's. Hope you like them, cause I do.

Very nice rifles, it would be hard to pick one over the other.

If I had to, really had to, choose only one, it would be the thick-side with the single set trigger and the bodacious tang sight.

That being said, what a collection!

I probably should have included the 50-95 and 45-125, but I got tired of dragging guns out.

Sounds like a good time to thin the herd, got any you're willing to part with?

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Very nice group of 1885's ... I love them too.  Do you shoot your .22 WCF?  Just curious what you are loading if you do?  I have an 1885 Low Wall in .22 WCF with a heavy round barrel that wears English proofs.  Bought a .228" NOE plain base mould to use in it, but I haven't shot it yet ...
  

I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't quite reached my "Expiry" date yet ...
