Winchester Model 53 44 WCF
Description:
Offered is an exceptionally scarce Winchester Model 53 lever-action rifle, manufactured in 1926 and chambered in the highly desirable .44 Winchester Center Fire (.44-40 WCF). The Model 53 represents one of Winchester’s more elusive 20th-century sporting rifles, produced in limited numbers between 1924 and 1932, with total production estimated at approximately 20,000 rifles across all configurations.
Often described as a lightweight, modernized evolution of the legendary Model 1892, the Model 53 retained the proven John M. Browning–designed action while incorporating refinements intended to appeal to the interwar sporting market. With its slimmer profile and excellent balance, the Model 53 was marketed as a fast-handling rifle well suited for field use, yet it never achieved widespread commercial success—making surviving examples notably uncommon today.
This rifle is fitted with a 22-inch round barrel, a classic and desirable configuration that contributes to its graceful lines and excellent handling characteristics. Of particular significance is its chambering in .44 WCF. Of the roughly 20,000 Model 53 rifles produced, only approximately 1,904 examples were manufactured in .44-40, making this one of the rarest standard-production caliber variations of the model and a true prize for the advanced Winchester collector.
Condition is excellent throughout, with strong original finish and sharp, well-defined markings. The rifle is further distinguished by a nicely figured walnut stock, exhibiting attractive grain and careful factory shaping—features that elevate both visual appeal and collector desirability. Wood-to-metal fit remains tight, and the rifle presents as a well-preserved example that has clearly been cared for over the past century.
The combination of limited production, scarce caliber, excellent condition, and aesthetic quality places this Model 53 firmly in the upper tier of collectible Winchester sporting arms. It stands as an outstanding opportunity to acquire a genuinely rare variant from Winchester’s transitional era—bridging the classic lever-action designs of the 19th century with the evolving tastes of the early 20th-century sporting rifle market.
