Winchester Model 55 Takedown Lever Action Rifle
serial #9950, 32 W.S., 24'' nickel steel barrel with a bright excellent bore showing bare hints of oxidation only noticed upon close inspection. The barrel and half magazine of this 1927-made rifle retain about 90% original blue with general light wear, a few spots streaking lightly gray, and some light handling marks and specks of oxidation. The receiver and extension have toned to a smooth gray-brown patina with remnants of blue on the sides and strong blue on the bolt, hammer, and link, and a few specks of old oxidation and light handling marks. The smooth straight grip walnut stock and forend are in excellent condition as lightly cleaned with the scattered remnants of old dings and light handling marks, and the steel shotgun-style steel buttplate shows a gray-brown patina with spots of fine pitting. The Winchester factory markings are intact and crisp, and some of the screws show the beginnings of slot wear. The rifle is sighted with a Lyman brass bead front sight and a flattop sporting-style rear sight, the magazine unscrews correctly but the rifle resists take down. A solid Model 55 from about midway through production. (14A11669-7) {C&R} (700/900)
