Winchester ~ Model 04A ~ .22 S/L/LR
Description: SCARCE AND DESIRABLE LATE MODEL 04A .22 RIM FIRE BOYS RIFLE. This model started out as the Model 1904 introduced in that year and chambered in .22 Short, Long and Extra Long. Along the way there were small improvements and changes made with the last being the Model 04A which had the barrel marking changed to .22 Short, Long and LONG RIFLE in 1927. This rifle fell victim to the Great Depression and was discontinued in 1931. Interestingly, in 1927 there were 15,557 of this model made; by 1930 (after the stock market crash in October of 1929) only 5,299 were made and in the final year of 1931 only 68 were manufactured! The Model 1904 was a larger, heavier boys rifle than the more common and less expensive Model 1902. Because of this, the retail price was higher than the smaller '02 Model and it did not sell as well. With its schnable forend tip and sweeping curved trigger guard that formed a semi-pistol grip, this was a particularly handsome single shot bolt action rifle. It has the original and correct Winchester embossed hard rubber butt plate, as well as, the original adjustable rear sight and small blade/bead front sight. This rifle has a great action for kids, as the bolt knob must be manually pulled back to cock the rifle, making it safe to carry with a shell in the chamber. .22 Short/Long/Long Rifle Price: $410.99 Curio/Relic: Yes Barrels: 21 Weight: 6 lb Item Location: christiana Contact Seller |
