1885 Hi Wall Question for Bert

I'm trying to find a copy of your article about the three variations of the Winder Musket from around 2015-16. We have an example I'm researching for a customer wishing to put it on consignment. Serial # is 1001## . One source puts it at 1910 one at 1905. It has a full length forearm with a cleaning rod and a tang peep sight. I'm very reluctant to turn the screws on the peep sight in order to view the markings on the tang as the finish and patina are very nice as is the wood. One of our local clubs has a group of shooters that specialize in the long range "Match Shooting" that made this rifle popular so I want as much info as I can find before I present it to them. I'll try and post some photos tomorrow.

Thanks in advance.

  1905 is correct. Winter 2010 Winchester Collector magazine has the article you're looking for.
