Winchester Model 1885 .22 Short Single-Shot Falling Block Rifle - Used

The Winchester Model 1885 is one of the best-known single-shot designs in American history, drawn from the work of John Moses Browning. This example is chambered in .22 Short and uses the classic lever-operated falling block action. It has a full-length wood forend, a single barrel band, a front blade sight at the muzzle and a straight-grip walnut-style stock with a curved buttplate.

With its slim lines and period character, this rifle suits collectors of Winchester and Browning-designed arms, fans of early American single-shots, and anyone building a display of turn-of-the-century sporting and training rifles. The simple, rugged action and small-bore chambering are a big part of the Model 1885's lasting appeal.

Condition: Used, with clear signs of age. The receiver shows mostly worn, bare gray metal and the barrel has a dark patina. The wood has scratches, dings, stains and darkened finish, and a cork piece is visible near the lever. Please review all photos carefully, as this is a vintage piece sold as shown.
