Manufactured in 1950. This is a very desirable example of a rare smooth bore .22 LR Shot Model 61 rifle featuring standard Winchester markings including the factory oval proof on the barrel and receiver and "-22 L. RIFLE-/-FOR SHOT ONLY-" following the barrel legend and a single bead front sight. Mounted on a 17 groove flat bottom forearm and smooth pistol grip stock with checkered steel buttplate. With factory hanging tag.

Fine. The receiver retains 95% refinished blue finish showing cycling wear and an area of smooth brown patina on the balance. The wood is very fine showing some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
