1885 Winder Musket

[CSM14thBN]

I co worker just sent me an email of one of these for sale. I havent looked at it yet but was interested. He says it is military marked and is in .22 short. I will post pics when I can get them. Any idea of price ranges for these in good condition?

Thanks
Chris

Here are 2 pics of the rifle. Is that sight original?

[A square 10]

the one from cabellas is a tad overpriced for the condition it is in but it appears to be one of the 11000+ that the government contracted for ,

i cant say for sure about the tang sight on the posted rifle , but , the cabellas rifle has the correct rear sight ,

some photos of mine -

The one posted from Cabellas does have the correct sight for a Military rifle. I have seen these rifles prices all over the price range. I would concider cabellas at 1500.00 way over priced. You can ask anything you want but it may never sell. But cabbella has a very good customer base so they may get it.
CSM14thBN I don't think the Lyman tang sight is orginal for a US Military rifle. If can get it for the right price I have a extra Lyman correct sight. You should be able to get enough money out of that Lyman tang sight shown on your posted rifle to pay for it.

Do you know were I could find the original Lyman peep sight?
