Offered here is an exceptionally scarce Winchester Model 55 Takedown chambered in the elusive .25-35 Winchester, manufactured in 1927—a caliber seldom encountered in this already uncommon model. This rifle appears all original, with crisp markings, a smooth and reliable action, and properly functioning half-cock and lever safeties.
The 24" tapered barrel retains most of its original bluing, while the receiver has developed a rich, honest red-brown patina that only a century of careful aging can produce. The takedown system and magazine tube remove easily, reflecting thoughtful ownership and mechanical integrity.
This is not just a rifle—it’s a true Winchester collector piece, blending rarity, originality, and classic pre-war craftsmanship. Finding a Model 55 in .25-35 in this condition is a rare opportunity, and one that will only become harder to repeat.
Highly recommended for the advanced Winchester collector or historically minded sportsman.
