Description:
Winchester Model 61 Hammerless pump action repeater chambered for .22 LR Shot Only. 
Winchester Model 61 made in 1940 with a Winchester Counter Bore barrel designed to avoid paying royalties to Mr. Routledge for his counter bore by the same name (e.g. Routledge Bore).
The new Winchester Counter Bore barrel had 16" of smooth bore measuring .217" and only 8" of the larger bore size, and with a bore diameter of .265”.
This rifle features a matted receiver like a Model 42 or Model 12 shotgun, and the 24" Winchester Counter Bored barrel has a single steel bead at the muzzle.
The Original stock has a checkered steel butt plate, smooth pistol grip and grooved forend. 
Rifle stock has darkened over the years, but has about 80% original varnish on the stock and 85% blue with what appears to be some cold blue applied in a few small spots. Barrel's rust blue shows a few small specs of surface rust but are consistent with the condition of the rest of the rifle. The bore is bright and smooth and gun is sound mechanically.
A rare, early model Smooth Bore Model 61.
