I stop by a friend's place upon occasion.  The old packrat trader finds me some interesting firearms related stuff from time to time.  Today he had a real good one!  A Niedner barreled 1885 Winchester Low Wall Take Down! It was equipped with a 24.25" long J. Stevens #141 scope and mounts.  He got it for a song from some old gal who referred to it as grandpa's shotgun.  It appears to be a 22 Hornet, but could be Niedner's improved version.  I measured a .298" base and a .358" rim recess.  There were no markings for the chambering to be found on the rifle.  28" heavy barrel, .797" in diameter at the muzzle, with a .219" bore.  I thought some of you Michigunners might be interesting in seeing it.  Sorry, I missed getting the whole of the barrel rollmark. I'll be visiting it again soon.  I can tell the rifle has been sitting in a corner a long time, the objective end of the scope is full of dust, as is the muzzle end of the bore.  It's clean most of the way up however.  Oh, the trigger appears to be adjustable, and it's adjusted real good!
