Description:
A good looking rifle. Receiver appears to have been cleaned years ago. A very careful job was done and it is aging back to a very nice color. This receiver was one of those that originally was suppose to be a saddle ring and has the saddle ring holes filled by the factory and was made into a rifle. This is seen from time to time in the 3rd model range and is absolutely correct. The bbl is nice with an aged blue/grey as is the mag tube. Serial range is 124k. Wood is in overall good cond. Fit relatively good and just slightly shy at the tangs. Forearm wood is also good overall. Most likely has had a light coat of oil or varnish applied decades ago. Nice tight action. No lever droop. This is a good looking Winchester!
