1935-38 mfg WINCHESTER M69 Bolt Action HUNTING/PLINKING .22 RF C&R Repeater
First Produced by WINCHESTER in 1935
Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Winchester Model 69 Bolt Action .22 Caliber Rimfire Repeating Rifle, made during its production run between 1935 through 1938 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Winchester Model 69 is a bolt-action .22 caliber repeating rifle first produced in 1935 by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. It was marketed as Winchester's mid-priced bolt-action rimfire sporting rifle, positioned above inexpensive single-shot rifles such as the Model 68 and beneath the prestigious Model 52.
In November 1938, several substantial design changes were made. The bolt was redesigned to cock on opening, the safety was changed to a sliding lever on the right-hand side of the receiver, the prominent rear cocking piece was eliminated, and the barrel was given a constant-diameter round contour rather than the previous slightly tapered contour, increasing the weight of the rifle slightly. The trigger mechanism also incorporated an internal screw adjustment, allowing the owner to adjust the trigger pull weight to some degree. The improved rifle was designated as the Model 69A.
A few minor changes were made to the Model 69A after World War II. The bolt handle was changed from a straight to a slightly swept-back shape, a grooved trigger was introduced, and the receiver became available with grooves for aftermarket scope mounts. Late in the production run, chromed bolts, trigger guards, and magazine guard plates were introduced.
Production ended in 1963 after approximately 355,363 examples of all types were sold. Model 69s were never produced with serial numbers, which were not required on rifles and shotguns sold in the United States prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968. The Model 69 was retired without a direct replacement. All other mid-priced .22 bolt-action repeaters had already been dropped from the Winchester lineup, leaving the Model 52 standing alone in the catalog until the introduction of the Model 131 in 1967.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish. Excellent action. Bright, sharply rifled bore. Fine stock with average handling evidence and wear. Markings are sharp. Drilled and tapped barrel and receiver. The stock can be fitted with sling swivels (not included.)
