Description:
A superb example of the outstanding and exceedingly scarce Pre War Winchester Model 52 Sporter! The Winchester 52 is regarded by majority as the finest .22 rifle ever created, and the Pre War Sporter version arguably the finest of them all, considering aesthetics, quality of components and workmanship. S/N 38xxx with matching bolt Mfg. 1937. The original finishes on this rare rifle are incredible, showing 99% blue and 99% Varnish. 100% original configuration as well, with no extra drill holes or other alterations of any kind. Just an amazing piece overall, considering initial assembly over 80 years ago! There are certainly no shortage of post war B Sporters out there, and even a few Cs, but I have only seen a handful of this particular model surface through years of searching. I have sold several other high condition examples recently, and this one is on equal par with the very best of them. It has a 24" barrel with excellent bore. Mechanics are spot on. There are absolutely NO cracks in rear L shaped portion of action behind bolt (see close up pic) or anywhere else for that matter. Equipped with correct sights, including the factory installed, very rare version Lyman 48 peep and Gold Bead front sight. A Winchester factory 5 shot magazine is included. Even the original pre war contour sling swivels are present and included! This is a rifle destined for the discriminating collector when only the best will do.
