Description:

Manufactured in 1936 (receiver). This rifle is currently chambered in .32 Winchester Special. This caliber is not listed in Dean Whitaker's study "THE MODEL WINCHESTER 1937-1964" thus leading one to surmise that it is purely a fantasy, although intriguing. Hooded ramp front sight and elevation adjustable rear sight on a barrel with the Winchester legend followed by "32 W.S." on the left side and two-line address on the right side. Winchester factory style oval proof on the barrel and receiver. The receiver is tapped for scope mounting at the front and sight mounting on the left rear side. Pre-war safety, polished bolt numbered to gun, cloverleaf receiver tang and sling swivels. The straight comb pistol grip stock features checkering and is fitted with a checkered steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally custom upgraded to current configuration/refurbished/restored. The rifle retains 98% of the refinished blue finish showing some minor high edge wear. Both oval Winchester proofs are restamped. The stock is very fine with a couple mild handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
