Description:
LOW SERIAL NUMBER, EARLY MODEL 55 TAKEDOWN RIFLE IN .30WCF CALIBER, #3XXX, MADE SECOND YEAR OF PRODUCTION IN 1926. Another very limited production Winchester that got decimated in the Great Depression of the 1930s with only 20,580 produced in all calibers and solid frame and takedown versions. More scarce than most Winchester collectors are aware of, the Model 55 is becoming more popular with collectors than in years past. This is a fine unaltered example with original steel butt plate, excellent stock and forend with tight wood to metal fit and tight takedown. Receiver shows fine 1920s blue/black finish typical of rifles made during this time. Usually this finish flaked off very rapidly, yet this one still retains most of the finish on the left side of the receiver, the right side shows a little less with some plum and brown mixing, good blue on the upper tang and receiver top with some light flaking/browning. Even the forend cap shows some good blue. Fine barrel and mag blue, exc. markings, tight action with excellent bright bore. Excellent screws and original buckhorn rear sight with correct short ramp front sight.Much better than usually seen.
