Winchester ~ Model 55 ~ .22 S, L, LR.

Description:
This is a hard to find Winchester model 55 .22 cal rifle. The Winchester Model 55 single-shot rifle introduced in 1958 is chambered for the .22 short, long, and long rifle. It was made in 22" barrel length only. Weight is 4 Lbs 15 Oz. Its blowback operated action is designed to fire from open bolt position. The action is cocked by retracting the action slide on the right side of the receiver. A cartridge is then inserted in the breech by pressing the bullet nose against the hinged plastic loading chute in the top of the receiver and chambering the round with the finger tip until the rim engages the extractor. The loading chute then rises into closed position. The act of loading automatically engages the safety. Disengagement of the safety readies the gun for firing. When the trigger is pulled the bolt moves forward, firing the cartridge. The empty case is ejected through the bottom of the receiver as the bolt recoils to the rear or cocked position. After reloading and disengaging the safety, the gun is again ready to fire. There is a crack repair below the charge handle that should not affect it. This is a tough one to come by so don't wait. .22 Short/Long/Long Rifle
