No connection with me but there is a 1885 high wall casting kit on eBay. No receiver though.  Listed for $300 but the seller offered it for $250.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

a big block of steel to file the receiver from, those castings, a handful of screws, your butt stock and plate, and a section of pipe from the plumbing department of Home Depot and you could turn around and offer it for over a thousand bucks. Toss in a set of sights from an ol' Remington .22 to sweeten the deal. Go for it, Jack. Roll Eyes
