Winchester High Wall .32-40 Just Snagged

[CptCurl]

I've been bad.

I'm too old to keep buying rifles and pistols. I thought I had myself under control, but this week my impulses got the better of me. Morphy had some nice ones, and I had some enablers who spurred me on.

Here is a fantastic Winchester High Wall I snagged. I am yet to see or hold it. These are photos from the auction.

I really can't wait to get it in hand. Stay tuned!

I'll take it!

Awesome!

What a jewel! Set up as a Sheutzen rifle no less. Glad that a resident of the Commonwealth got it.

That is beautiful.

Not trying to sound like a freak but I would love to see pics of the butt hook/pad.

You, sir, are my hero.

Great buy. I was drooling over (and unsuccessfully bidding) on some of their highwalls, 1886's and Popes.

Beautiful rifle!
Ser# looks like 1905 mfg.
Lack of WP proof mark would be before May of 1905 if everything was done by the book. But never say never with a Winchester.

Ain't they just got graceful lines,,and a classic target caliber of the period.
Congrats!

I got both their mailer and emailer on that auction. Some nice ones for sure. Congrats. Request range report w/pics, if you intend to shoot it. If not, pics only.

Fantastic Deluxe High Wall, they don't get much better!

That rifle has a bunch of special order features: Half round #3 barrel with no rear seat, deluxe H checkered pistolgrip stock with a cheekpiece, a Schuetzen buttplate, a single-set trigger and a vernier peep. After looking at the photos, I think I need to change my username to MajorDrool!
