I found this 1885 in an auction site and had to get it. It has a bunch of stuff going for it, but I am a fan of 25-35.
All the features letter and the gun is in great shape. I hope to be shooting deer or antelope this fall with it.

Thanks for another visit to the Shrapnel Museum of Historical Objects Put to Use! It's like a cross between a museum and a petting zoo: beautiful museum pieces that come out to play. Thanks!

Sure looks to be in great shape! I'm not familiar with 25-35, can you get brass or make it from something else?

It is a .30-30 parent case.
What a beautiful rifle that is.
Once again you struck gold. Awesome rifle.
