Scarce Winchester with 20,500 Produced

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 55 Lever Action Rifle manufactured in New Haven, Connecticut in 1928. In 1924 Winchester introduced an “updated” version of the Model 94 rifle. The company dubbed it the Model 55. The earliest guns were made as takedowns, as is this example, a nod to the popularity during that era of storing guns in closets or trunks or transporting them via bicycle or in suitcases. In 1930, solid-frame Model 55s were made available. Extra-order options, such as shorter or longer barrels, double-set triggers and half-octagon barrels, are known to exist. In 1932, with approximately 20,500 guns made, the Model 55 was discontinued to make way for the Winchester Model 64. There were enough spare parts in Winchester’s inventory, however, to keep the Model 55 in production until 1935, even though it was no longer catalogued.

The overall condition is fine. Original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The walnut stock shows honest use and is in great shape. A very nice piece.
