Ubeti 1885 Low wall in .22LR
« on: September 28, 2005, 11:53:04 AM »
Does anybody know if Uberti still produces the 1885 Low Wall in .22LR?  I have seen it advertised on www.taylorsfirearms.com, but have not seen it in that particular chambering on Uberti's webpage, which leads me to wonder if it has been discontinued by the factory and that Taylor's is just selling what is left of their inventory.  Always wanted a falling block SS in .22LR, but very few people seem to make them.  Are there any other brands out there?  I couldn't afford a Dakota; I really need something under $1000.  Preferably less.  Any info would help.  thanks!
You only take one shot at a time, so don't waste it :cb2:

Buffalo Arms is also selling a .22LR version of the Low Wall, and from under $900.  $845 with 30" barrel, and double set triggers! Slightly more for the same with pistol grip stocks.

Winchester sold a Miroku-made (same as Brownings before them) Lo Wall in .22 LR.  You see them on sites like GunsAmerica.  Most I've seen are "Hi Grade" models, with some engraving ... otherwise "traditional" style, with 1/2-round/1/2-octagon barrel, straight stock, crescent butt plate. Prices for these tend to be around $1000.  The newer versions of these are in .17 HMR, with full octagon barrel & modern-style stock (like the recent Browning LoWalls).  I think Winchester makes a different caliber each year; maybe they'll do another run in .22, but without the fancy "do-dads" (the current .17s seem to cost around $800)
