Description:
2ND YEAR PRODUCTION MODEL 53 IN SCARCE .32-20 CALIBER, #2XXX, MADE 1925. This handy little 1892 variant was only made from 1924-1932 with parts clean-up going on during the Great Depression until about 1942. The standard caliber for the M-53 was .25-20 and according to the Winchester Handbook by Madis, 16,905 were made in .25-20; only 4718 were made in .32-20 and 3,293 were made in .44-40. This model is more scarce than most collectors realize. This example shows fine barrel blue with a little thinning/wear mainly to the left side and excellent correct M-53 markings. It has the correct flat top buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar and Lyman blade/bead front sight. The receiver is mostly an uncleaned gray with fine blue on the loading gate and untouched screws. The stock and forend are fine with tight wood to metal fit and show only light handling. Correct steel shotgun butt plate, very tight action and excellent bright bore. A hard to find model inn a hard to find caliber and now nearly a hundred years old!
