I was at a pawn shop on my lunch break today, when I came across an oddity int he form of an old Winchester .22. I don't recall if it was LR or WCF, but it did have the following:
Heavy octagon barrel of about 22" or more
Full length, 4" wide stock that looked aftermarket or home-made
Tang mounted flip-up peep sight
Rolling block action w/ exposed hammer
A $599 price tag
It didn't have anything but the usuall Winchester markings and a serial no.
It was also heavy as sin and looked like a 1885 model, but with a full stock and octagonal barrel.
I'm just curious as to what model it might be, and if there's no pitting and 50% remaining bluing, what it might be worth.
