For Sale: Winchester High Wall Schuetzen Style .32-40

  This is a very nice custom rifle that needs some help. The rifle has a 30" full-octagonal barrel. .32-40 caliber with a very good bore.

  The buttstock and (probably) buttplate are reproduction. The buttstock leaves a gap on both sides where it meets the action. The checkering is professional. The forearm is plain, no checkering.

  The rifle doesn't have a rear sight. The front sight is a Lyman 17A that secures to a scope block base. The barrel has not been drilled and tapped for scope blocks.

  The double-set triggers are by Ben Rice. They function nicely.

  The lever will not come up to the lower tang. It looks like someone put too much force on it and bent the little end piece. See the last two photos.

Price: $ 1,950 includes shipping via US Post Priority Mail

First "I'll take it" posted here gets it.
  ~ and I'll donate $10 to the ASSRA

Thank you,
Joe D

Nice rifle Joe.  If I hadn't just bought a couple, I would be interested.

Looks like the lever has just been poorly bent.  A new lever or some careful bending would probably solve the issue.  Here's a side by side with a properly fitting lever.

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.
