Here's a Model 1885 that came up for sale recently. The original owner who special ordered it seems to have been intent on as light a weight big game single-shot as possible. I have never seen a low wall in a large caliber. This one tempted me to a very high degree. There are many aspects of this rifle that are very appealing:

If it was barreled and chambered by Winchester I wouldn't be too worried. They pretty much knew what they were doing.
"IF" and that's a very big IF. I do not believe that could be documented. And even so, the .38-56 is a necked down .45-70 case. There is a lot of consternation about even .38-55s in low wall actions.
At least it is a thick-tang action for what little good that will do. There are reasons for low wall actions and .38-56 is not among them.
