Description:
FIRST YEAR PRODUCTION MODEL 43 BOLT ACTION SPORTER WITH FANCIER THAN STANDARD WALNUT, IN .22 K-HORNET, #7XXX, MADE 1949. The chamber of this .22 Hornet rifle has been opened up to accept the .22 K-Hornet cartridge which is simply a blown-out or improved .22 Hornet case. This was commonly done on .22 Hornet chambered rifles as the “K” version got about 100+ more feet per second velocity over the standard Hornet loading but more importantly, it was less prone to case stretching than the original long, sloping Hornet case. Also, any .22 K-Hornet rifle could fire standard .22 Hornet ammo, but the fired case would come out formed to the K-Hornet dimensions. Reloading dies for the K-Hornet are readily available. This early rifle has a beautiful fiddle back grain to the walnut. It is also fitted with a one-piece Redfield scope base. It comes with one magazine and overall is in like new condition. The caliber designation on the barrel has not been altered and still reads only “22 HORNET” along with the other Winchester markings. Still retains the hooded front sight and as had the rear dovetailed filled with a correct blank. Unaltered checkered steel butt plate retaining all the blue. Overall, this rifle is in near new condition overall.
