    Found on the web

    "In 1973 Browning introduce the Model 78 High Wall, more commonly known as
    the B-78. Close to 24,000 B-78 rifles were manufactured prior to being
    discontinued in 1982. In 1985 the Model 1885 (M1885) High Wall was
    introduced, followed by the M1885 Low Wall in 1995. I don?t know how many
    M1885 rifles were produced prior to being officially discontinued in 2001, but
    more recently Winchester (now part of Browning) has produced Limited Series
    versions of the M1885."

    Edit = Got this from Browning's website:

    The Model 1885 "High Wall" Rifle was introduced in 1985. The Model 1885 "Low Wall was introduced in 1995. The Model 1885 BPCR Black Powder Cartridge Rifle was introduced in 1996. The "Traditional Model" 1885 was introduced in 1997. The Model 1885 is still in production today.
    I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly
