NO RESERVE!! Here's a fairly late production Winchester Model 1885 "High Wall" single-shot rifle. Chambered for the .22 Long Rifle, it wears a 28" #3 round barrel. This old girl has been "rode hard" and shows wear from many years of enjoyment. It has a single-set trigger but the "set" part of the equation does not work (works fine as a standard trigger). The metal is mostly a smooth brown patina with some minor rust pitting on the left underside of the receiver and right side of the barrel near the muzzle and the front sight is, well, ugly. The buttplate also has a nice layer of rust scale. There is an extra dovetail cut into the barrel beneath the rear sight. The stocks show significant wear with a large sliver of wood missing along the upper tang and long cracks running back from the tangs both top and bottom. These cracks has been "repaired" with a series of 8 nails through the left side of the stock that have been countersunk and filled. The buttstock does appear sound. The rifle functions well mechanically (except for that set trigger). The bore shows rifling but also a fair amount of pitting and erosion...she'll need to be rebarreled or relined before any sort of target shooting. In her current state you won't be bragging about this old girl to your buddies, but with some gentle loving I'm sure she can be resurrected to near former glory. How's that for a line of BS??
