Thanks to some recent help from our esteemed journal editor and the Tacoma match director, I now have 20 Winchester 1885 high walls. 

Year Mfg      Caliber
1914           .22 LR
1901           .22 LR
1887           .22 LR
1917           22 Hornet
unk             25 Hornet
1909           25-35
1887           256 Win
1887           30-30
1918           32 RKS
1918           32-40
1887           32-40
1918           32-40
unk             32-40
1920           32-40
1890           33-47
1886           38-55

1886           38-70

I did end up selling 2 Ballards so hopefully I won't lose 20 years off of my lifespan by having 20 high walls.

Jack

Is your 1909 25-35 pretty much original?  Tom

Thanks Frank
Tom,
I ordered a Cody letter for the 25-35 which is a take down. Unfortunately that rifle left the factory originally as a 32-40 take down and returned a couple of years later most likely to have the 25-35 barrel fitted. It had Winchester scope blocks on it, the wider than 3/8” variety that I added. The bore is pitted but shows strong rifling. So far it shoots jacketed bullets well at 100 yds. I am experimenting with some GC cast bullets from Bull Shop.

We all love you Jack but I think that it's time for an intervention.

You should probably get one more.  Then you would have 21 and you could change your handle from bpjack to blackjack!

Great idea Chris.  I probably wouldn’t stop at 21 though.  I am being a bit more selective these days though. I am a sucker for double set triggers though.

I might be able to get 12 decent looking rifles from this collection.  Several are not photo worthy.
