ID a gun please?

[302w 83]

well... Half of a gun, anyway. It is my roomates, girlfriends, dads gun. I haven't seen it myself, but apparantly it has 7.62 stamped into the wood stock and a "No. 8" in a circle on the drivers side of the reciever. Let me know.

1885 Winchester High Wall takedown. Missing its barrel and forend. (BTW - the rifle depicted directly below is selling for $15,000 on Merz Antique Firearms' website. They specialize in antique Winchesters.) These are worth some money. Would make a nice project gun to rebarrel and use again.

 

An intact one

 

 

 

Does the underside look like this, depicting a groove for the locking latch?

Time for your roommate to go for an Easter Egg hunt to look for that barrel in her house LOL

Some people on another forum claim its a 1895 sold to Czarist Russia and chambered in 7.62x54r....hence the 7.62 on the stock. Interesting.

 

It definitely doesn't look like a 1895, but the 7.62 is interesting as is the 8.

That is NOT an 1895 Winchester.
