Re: Winchester 1885 High Wall Copies?

Joe, Just rebarreled a Uberti H/W to 30 Super. The action was a standard trigger model with about a 25lb pull. The originals were designed with a flat spring mounted forward of the action. The later H/Ws had a coil "mousetrap" spring. For whatever reason, Uberti chose to use both springs...hence, the Uberti design differs from the originals. My customer supplied a 22" Remington 30-06 barrel for the job, and when complete the rifle is almost tiny and weighs under 6 lbs.
