Dale, I think the model you want is called the "1885 Traditional Sporter". Stock # is 534183117. You can find it at Galleryofguns.com. Whether or not they are still available, I cannot say... This model has P/G stock ala: the BPCR, and 28" round barrel. GH P.S: Actually, I found it here: http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/catalog/category.asp?family=002C

Are Uberti threads American standard, or metric?
Paul Paul, my Uberti has 15/16"-20 barrel threads. I've never replaced any others so I'm not sure of the rest.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

They (CDNN) are also running the high walls in 28" .300 and .375 H & H for that price. jack

Grasshopper If you can, point me where Gallery of Guns has this gun. I can't find it.
Thanks

I have recently purchased a Winchester 1885 low wall in 223. I am trying to locte scope mounts or a scope base. I am having trouble finding one and would like to avoid machining my own. If you know where I can find something that would be appreciated information. Also if there is an alternative mounts that can be used with a little modification I would consider that. thanks I have a Lo-Wall in .223, and it's been a pain to get a scope mounted on it! Leupold sells a base, but you may well find that they are sending the wrong screws with it (too short). Then when you call them about it they will send you another set of the wrong screws!! Then after a third call to them they will send you screws that are about a half inch too long! The base uses two different length screws, and getting everything right becomes an issue. gary

They got me once, but never twice gary I agree!!!!!! I like Leupold products, but their base sets for the 1885s SUCK. I bought a set to replace my weather-beaten "factory" bases on my High Wall and found the screws for the front base to be too long. Then the damned things require two different ring heights (meaning you'll be buying two different ring sets to cobble together one usable pair) and the friggin' front base doesn't exactly mate with the barrel surface very well either. These are going BACK. The best base sets -- I think -- were the Browning "factory" bases which were made by Burris. (Browning catalog number 8617 and Burris catalog number 410281 for the High Wall, Browning catalog number 8917 and Burris catalog number 410271 for the Low Wall.) Missinglink is currently selling several NIB sets of these very bases in the classifieds -- CLICK D LINKI've used the Burris-manufactured bases on a previous Low Wall and after hassling with the Leupold bases am convinced this is the ONLY way to fly.
