Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

This rifle and scope package had a short working holiday with me a few years ago
I repaired a couple of small faults and had the joy of getting it all going reasonably well
Range shot it a bit and even shot a hare that wandered through my 100m range one day

But it went back to its owner and was definately not for sale
There was still a serious problem to solve with the extremely tight match chamber
But because that involved some hand reaming to sort I did not undertake the repair

Yesterday morning I was advised it was mine to buy at a very reasonable price
I arrived at the specified time with the money and here it is

Now to consult the .22 LR rifle chamber guru on this forum and tickle out a micron or two from the lead of the chamber

The thing about a High Wall .22 rifle is that it's pretty tricky to get a tiny case into the chamber !

The Winder musket third variation were all made in a low wall receiver and a lot easier to load and unload
