This is a Winchester LoWall, made in 1903. It was orginally a Winder Musket chambered in .22 short. When I bought it, it had been reblued and the stock shortened. Since it's collector value was pretty well gone, I decided to build it into something "different". I relined the barrel and chambered it for .22 mag, added the parts to make it a single set trigger and whittled a new stock with correct drop, castoff, etc. so that I can close my eyes, shoulder the rifle and be looking right thru the scope! The scope is a 6.5 - 20x w/target turrets. On a good day (for me) it will put 5 shots under a nickel at 100 yds. The "normal" trigger pull is about 4 lbs and when the trigger is "set" it is about 6 ounces. The finish on the stock is many coats of hand rubbed oil. This was the first time that I tried stock making and it took many months to complete! I was fortunate in that it turned out much better than I had any reason to expect!!
