Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: MODEL 53 IN SCARCE .32-20 CALIBER, #7XX, MADE THE FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION IN 1924. These were only made from 1924-1932 with .25-20 the standard chambering with nearly 17,000 made in that caliber and only about 4,700 made in .32-20. This was another limited production Winchester killed off by the Great Depression of the 1930s. Well, that’s all the good news I have on this one… Another hard used rifle that came out of here in Wild Montana, this one has a well worn carbine butt stock that shows some cracking at the wrist, a sling swivel hole in the bottom of the stock and general nicks and dings, the forend shows some repaired/glued long cracks mainly on the right side, but both stock and forend basically solid. Mostly gray receiver and barrel with fine correct markings, fine screws and fine blue on the loading gate. There is a period correct receiver sight mounted on the left side of the receiver and original blade/bead front sight mounted in the correct factory short ramp and an empty rear sight dovetail. Bore shows some small areas of light roughness, but is certainly a “shootable bore.” Action is tight. I’m sure there are lots of stories in this one!
