This High Wall configuration is true to the classic single-shot concept, using a lever-actuated falling-block action with an external spurred hammer. It is chambered in .45-70 Govt. with a one-round capacity, offering the simplicity and strength associated with the Model 1885 pattern.
The rifle is built with a 28-inch full-octagon steel barrel and a gloss blued steel receiver. The finish is consistent and well-executed, reflecting the quality associated with Miroku-manufactured Winchester reproductions.
No iron sights are installed. The rear barrel top flat is drilled and tapped, with two plugged holes visible from the factory setup on this configuration.
The furniture is walnut, including a straight-grip stock and a long, checkered fore-end. A fore-end sling swivel stud is installed, and the length of pull measures 14 inches. Rollmarks and proofs include: "WINCHESTER," "U.S. REPEATING ARMS CO., NEW HAVEN, CT U.S.A.," "JAPAN-MIROKU," "MODEL 1885," and "CAL..45-70 GOV'T ONLY."
