Description:
EXCEPTIONAL EARLY MODEL 53 .25-20 SOLID FRAME RIFLE, #9XXX, MADE 1926. This “modernized” version of the Model 1892 was introduced in 1924 and discontinued because of the difficult economic conditions of the Great Depression in 1932. The M-53 featured a 22” barrel with half magazine and shotgun butt with serrated steel butt plate. The standard caliber was .25-20. This is one of the nicest examples I’ve offered in a long time. It retains most of the deep receiver blue with only some light flaking on the left side bottom forward section and some light blue thinning on the receiver bottom. Even the upper tang, lever and forend cap show good blue. The barrel shows about all the original blue. Exc. markings and screw heads. Original buckhorn rear sight with elevation bar intact and correct original short ramped front blade/bead sight. Near perfect stock and forend, tight action, strong safety half-cock, and minty bright bore. Receiver blue of this vintage Winchester lever guns typically flaked quickly and finding one with this much blue is a rarity.
