Early Winchester Model 61 Slide Action Rifle
serial #2222, 22 S, L, LR, 24'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this first year production rifle retain about 95% original blue with light wear on high edges and contact points, some scattered light abrasions and handling marks on the barrel and top of receiver, and the action bar is toning lightly to plum under bright light. The takedown screw appears to function correctly with the face toned to pewter gray with a spot of brown. The smooth pistolgrip walnut stock and flatbottomed 11-grooved forend are in very good plus condition with scattered light handling marks, a few light dings on the underside of the forend, and some light finish wear on the sides of the forend and at the heel; the checkered steel buttplate is intact with minor silvering at the edges. The factory markings are intact and crisp, and the trigger assembly is matching to the gun. The rifle is sighted with a bead front sight and a u-notch sporting-style rear sight, the tang retaining the factory drilled and tapped holes for sight mounting found on early models. A wonderfully preserved 1932-production Model 61 with an attention grabbing serial number. (14B11523-63) {C&R} [Jim Thrash Collection] (1200/1800)
