Falling block .22 cal gun help

[savage3006]

I am looking for information about this gun, its a 22cal falling block rifle, no real distinguishing marks besides a serial number. The barrel is a bull barrel, and it appears to be left handed.
Any help is appreciated.

I don't know the maker, but it was clearly set up for competion shooting. The customoffset butt, the aluminum handstop, etc all scream competition.

It looks like Winchester 1885 low wall falling block action or a copy of it.

Looks to be an 1885 Winchester Low Wall, probably what is left of a Winder Musket. Give me the serial number and I can tell you when it was made, and may be able to tell you what configuration it was in when it left Winchester.
Did you get the scope with it that fits those mounts?

[savage3006]

Thank you for your help, the serial number is 127349. As far as the scope goes, there is a scope that came with it, but as of this time i am unsure whether it fits the rifle. Do you know where i could get a right handed stock or how to modify it to be right handed, and also what it is worth?

[MyOdessa]

Serial number 127349, made in 1917, but I thought that after 1908 Winchester added letter A to the serial number. So my date could be wrong.

[savage3006]

You are correct there is an A, sorry about that.

Made late 1918.
A letter suffix on a Winchester just indicates some unknown production change. I would bet it was originally a Winder Musket, I'll see if I can find out for you. If it was, it's a shame someone chopped it up. I couldn't begin to guess on a value. A complete action in good shape will bring $500 to $900.
Any markings on the barrel? Under the forearm?
I know of several places you can get a stock.
Can you post a pic of the scope?

[savage3006]

There is no marking on the barrel itself, there are some markings stamped on the top of the receiver but it seems that it has been stamped in the same place multiple times, making it unreadable. I would like to replace the stock, so that it could be used as a plinking gun, could you recommend somewhere to get a simple stock? As for the scope i will see if i can get a decent picture of it and post it.

[savage3006]

After looking the rifle over again I noticed that the lever has been cut, and what i believe to be the sight has been removed, this would be consistent with it being a winder musket.

[TRAP55]

It's a third variation Winder Musket. All of those extra holes on the right hand side of the receiver are factory drilled & tapped for the original Lyman No. 53 receiver mounted peep sight. The mount on the tang looks like it was for something like a Redfield palma sight.

Thank you, and the scope is a cheap Bushnell so not original.

[savage3006]

I read that the rifle is chambered for 22 short, could I shoot long rifle out of it?

[G-forceJunkie]

Nope.

[TRAP55]

It was originally chambered for .22 short, unless that barrel is marked Winchester, which I doubt, it was probably re-barreled to .22lr. Check the barrel for a caliber/chamber stamp.
