	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.

	Action alone , in the white would be $1550. Rice triggers would be a big upgrade and original Winchester barrel in this condition might bring $400. Already put together with what I believe minor tweaking makes this a very fair price at $1950 with free shipping. I'm surprised it has lasted this long. I'd be all over this if I didn't have a Ben Rice double set High Wall. HG

	I am also surprised to see it hasn’t sold. I don’t see any issues that are not insurmountable. In my opinion, low ball offers and criticisms should be made in a PM instead of a post. Just sayin’

The stock as you know, is poorly fitted and correcting that issue creates a significant problems with the checkering. Also, the lever issue may be more complex than it appears depending on what is going on internal. Lynn Odean Correcting the fit shouldn't ever affect the checkering. Simply remove the right amount of wood at the rear of the tang inletting so the stock shifts forward and seats snug against the action. I think Joe's wonderful pictures, and descriptions tell whatever any buyer needs to know, so no reason anyone should need to point out anything more at this thread.

	I agree with Vall about Joe’s listings both here and on Gun Broker and eBay. He honestly shows any issues and provides accurate descriptions. I but from him on a regular basis. I get very frustrated with the many eBay sellers who provide no descriptions at all or rely on eBay’s worthless AI description option. The AI descriptions are amusing at times though but rarely provide any useful information.
