Here’s an interesting one. Never even heard of this caliber before. Seems like a pretty good buy for a one-of-a-kind gun. Listed just this morning and sold already. Good luck finding ammo…

Don,
It is not a “one-of-a-kind”. William Porter’s survey stated that eight rifles in that cartridge were made. When I completed the caliber survey in late 2013, I found seven, with five more in the center fire version.

You mean center fire as 38WCF? Or was there another center fire caliber in 38 long?

Bruce,
No, I was not referring to the very common 38 WCF. I was referring to the center fire version of the rim fire 38 Ex Long.
Winchester manufactured the Model 1885 in the following .38 caliber cartridges;
38 Short (RF)
38 Long (RF)
38 Ex Long (RF)
38 Long (CF)
38 Ex Long (CF)
38 WCF (38-40)
38-50 Ballard
38-55
38-56 WCF
38-70 WCF
38-72 WCF
38 EX (38-90)
