Looking at C. Sharps' web site, they do make and sell complete 1885s, and they do sell some types of actions; but, near as I can tell, they don't sell 1885 actions.
Theoretically, you can get a barreled action (only ... no bare action without barrel) from Browning; they show up on their parts list for the 1885. Whether or not they have the caliber you want remains to be seen; but you might try giving them a call.

High Wall actions...

Contact Steve Meacham at http://www.meachamrifles.com for the best of the High Wall reproductions. Steve makes exact copies of the original 1885 High Wall and Low Wall actions as well as complete rifles, and unlike the others who use investment castings Steve CNC machines his out of ordnance steel. His actions are better than the original Winchesters in tolerances and quality of materials.
