Field's U.S. Patent was granted in February 1878. Although Browning's patent for the hi-wall looks very simlar, Field's actions had a self-cocking hammer feature.

Modern day hi-walls are now available with this self-cocking hammer feature, although Target and Schuetzen shooters have added this modification to their rifles in the past.


All of my original High Walls, except the Schuetzen have the self cocking feature.
