has gloss | eng: The Winder musket was a .22-caliber training rifle used by the US Army from 1914 to approximately 1923. It was a Winchester Model 1885 Single Shot in either "Low Wall" or "High Wall" configuration with a military full stock, chambered for .22 Short or .22 Long Rifle. It was the brainchild of Colonel C. B. Winder, who advocated marksmanship training with a rifle of similar size and weight to a service rifle but chambered in .22 rimfire, which was both economical and suitable for indoor ranges. |
