Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 Bolt Action Carbine in 22 Hornet

Manufactured in 1946 during the transition period (late 1945 to 1951). It is chambered in the desirable 22 Hornet caliber. Hooded ramp front sight and elevation adjustable rear sight on a 1945 stamped barrel marked with the Winchester legend on the left side. The receiver is tapped for scope/sight mounting with cloverleaf tang. Pre-war safety, polished bolt numbered to gun and sling swivels. The pistol grip stock features checkering and a checkered steel buttplate. All pre-War characteristics

ConditionVery fine as partially refinished (trigger guard assembly and stock). The carbine retains 97% original blue finish showing some loss at the muzzle and some minor high edge wear (mostly on the buttplate). The revarnished stock is fine with a pool of varnish behind the grip and some minor handling marks with overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A fine example of an American Winchester timeline.
