Description:
Famed forerunner to the model 70, this is a Winchester Model 54 in 30-06 caliber.
Completely unaltered and rare to find in this collectible condition.
S/N 34277A with matching scribed bolt made in 1931.
This was the first of the eventual 2 standard rifle styles with its slender schnabel tipped stock and integral post front sight.
The barreled action shows 97% deep and bright bluing throughout, with only a few scattered light scratches. The bottom metal is very good for this model, completely original showing expected wear, but without the typical dramatic flaking and browning so often seen. The buttplate has also fared well, fading to a dark silvery grey.
The original wood finish is also very nice with numerous scattered light handling marks and rubs, but nothing deep or distracting and no cracks anywhere.
The barrel channel is clean with no bedding, routing, or other issues. The rear receiver bridge remains UNDRILLED.
All components are original issue including the beaded insert front sight, Lyman 6W 2 leaf rear sight, and original swivel studs.
The barrel is 24" with an excellent shiny bore and all mechanical functions are smooth and proper.
There were only about 50,000 Model 54s made in all calibers and grades, and of those, I would estimate that less than 20% remain collectible by any stretch of the imagination, the majority having been grossly modified. This one remains in excellent original condition, and is one of the finer examples that you will see offered over the long term.
Please add $100 for expedited and fully insured shipping from Alaska.
