Description:
SOLD SOLD SOLD
Hello, this is a 1960 vintage Winchester 52C, marked AFPG (Air Force Premium Grade). The bolt is numbered to the receiver. The stock is bedded to the receiver. The rifle is in good shape for it's age and works well. The bore, checked with a borescope, is good. Please look closely at the pictures.
This is a special rifle as the Air Force, at Curtis LeMay's direction, put some effort into being the best. As I understand, this included tuning the rifles so as to label them Premium Grade.
"Some (records) have stood up for 20 years, such as the .22 team match record of 1192-65X set in March, 1964. The scorecard for that match shows that only eight shots out of the 120 fired by four men were nines. All the rest were 10s or Xs."
There is a great read (partial quote above) that appeared in the American Rifleman discussing General LeMay's marksmanship programs. GI won't allow links; paste this partial address in a search window: airforceshooting/ararticle.html
Please feel free to ask questions. With the exception of an extra magazine included, what you see is what you get. I am new to GI but have substantial seller's feedback under the same name (Thomasconnor) in various places and am glad to provide links GI won't allow here.
Any type of payment is fine, some with possible delay. Sorry no Paypal. This ship well packed and fully insured from me an individual to your FFL for $40 to the lower 48. If your FFL requires an FFL on my end, please find a different FFL on your end or add another $40 for my FFL's fee.
If you are a PA resident we have other choices. Please see my other listings. Thanks for looking...Tom
