Description:
WINCHESTER Model 53 LEVER ACTION .32-20 WCF Cal. C&R Rifle

1st YEAR PRODUCTION Winchester w/ 25,000 Produced

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 53 Lever Action Rifle manufactured in New Haven, Connecticut in 1924. In 1924, Winchester introduced the Model 53 lever-action rifle as a more modern version of the 1892 Winchester. The Model 53 was available in 44-40 WCF, 32-20 WCF, and 25-20 WCF calibers. This rifle could be ordered only with a round 22 inch barrel, the forearm smooth, half-magazine, a plain or pistol grip walnut straight-grip stock, and shotgun butt.  The frame and barrel were blued and had either a solid or takedown feature.

The Model 53 was manufactured through 1932 with approximately 25,000 guns produced during the 8-year production period.  The Model 53 was discontinued along with several other Winchester models because it could just not compete in sales with the 1894 and the impact of the Great Depression on Winchester Arms.

The overall condition is good+. Original patina. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The walnut stock is smooth and solid. The forestock does move very slightly within the frame and fore end cap. There are holes that were drilled and presumably tapped for a sight that have been filled.

This firearm is classified as Curio & Relic.
