Hi guys!

I need some help on this one. What can you tell me about this gun from the pictures?

A colleague came to me with this winchester rifle and asked me if I could find out some details about it. My questions to you is what model?, year of production?, caliber?, is this a "take down" rifle? has the pipe been changed from the original? and value?

I believe this is a 1885 single shot "high wall" rifle, the serial number is 102015 and I was told it was made 1914 but I'm not sure. The caliber is printed into the pipe as 7.9x57 JR. Mauser. and it looks like it is a take down, but I just can't make it. I've tried twisting and pulling but nothing happens. Therefore I wonder maybe the pipe is changed from the original and can't be taken apart.

Pictures of the rifle are to be seen at the link below: http://www.kammeret.no/forum/v...731&p=660991#p660991
Unfortunately this page is only in norwegian, but the pictures can't be mistaken

Thank you all in advance!

This is a nice rifle, probably you should post you question on the single shot forum where the American specialists hang out.

Once thing I am pretty sure of: The caliber is not factory original.

I'll do! Thanks for the tip
