Great information guy’s!

I wouldn’t mind finding one of those High Walls in the Rimmed Navy Cartridge! Then again, I’m sure a few others wouldn’t mind finding one either. I’ve always kept it in the back of my mind, after I learned from Bert’s survey, the numbers, and figured, just how hard they are to find.

Anthony, the rimmed cartridges bring a premium over the semi rimmed.   Winchester brings a premium over UMC.   Normal Military full metal jacket cartridges can bring between $20 to $40 a piece.  The rimmed ones are 4 to 5 times that to someone that needs them.  Commercial soft points don’t have the value of the Military ones.  As far as I know no rifles were made for the rimmed experimental cartridges for sale to the Military or public.

  

Winchester manufactured a small number (21) high-wall Single Shot rifles in 236 USN rimmed.

That’s interesting.  Are you sure they are the full rim not the semi rimmed?  That would be a cool rifle.  I posted this before but the 2 on the left are the full rimmed.  I just noticed that the middle one is Milbank primed.  That is the style primmer that was used in the first 1873 44 WCF box.

The next to last one is probably an O. F. Winchester Patent.  Notice how flat it is.

Chuck,

I did notice that! What a great referencing picture you posted.

That’s a nice selection of the .236 Navy Cartridge. The one Milbank primed, really add to the picture also!

Thanks for sharing,Smile

That’s a pretty neat box,Chuck. Don’t think I ever have seen that one before.

Thanks for sharing.
