I purchased one of the new, low quality, Lyman sights for my 1906 1885 in 45-70. Had to slap on a taller front sight. Man does it shoot old cast bullets. Using a rest at 100 yds was giving me less than 2”. I’m hunting this old girl next year. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/764HmJ6H/IMG-7275.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/g0Fm2L3V/IMG-7276.jpg)

I'm liking everything about it!
Can't wait to see how you do with her next year.
Nice work.

Sweet lookin' High Wall! I found an original "S" code Lyman No.1 Combination tang sight for my 1887 vintage .45-70 High Wall. It doesn't have the greatest condition bore but it'll still put 'em where it's looking. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Dw4HqQ3d/IMG_5263.jpg)

Mine is a 5 footer. Reblu, rewood, rebarrel. Looks good from 5 feet. Still a hoot to shoot.

Great looking rifles. Just something about a vintage single that makes me smile

Ive got a line on another 1885. It’s a low wall in 22 long. Thinking about picking it up. Not nearly as attractive to me as something i can hunt deer with. Might be fun tho.

T4 These Winder muskets are fun to play with and can still be had for a reasonable price. Mine's a .22 Short but I believe they made some high wall versions in long or long rifle. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/hjtqBRxt/IMG_4488.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/WbqY9CYF/IMG_4598.jpg)
