This rifle appears to have been a test example for the Winchester factory as evidenced by the "QUALITY/CONTROL/TEST GUN" marked tag. The receiver shows standard Winchester markings and is drilled/tapped on the left side. The "5-Star" Eric Johnson barrel is drilled/tapped for sights and scope blocks. The bolt, rear sling swivel, and magazine are absent. The included FN America Certificate of Provenance identifies the rifle by model and serial number, stating that it was previously a part of the Winchester Factory Collection where it was maintained by U.S. Repeating Arms.

Very fine with Eric Johnson barrel, retains 97% original blue finish with some scattered minor handling marks and a few patches of spotting (heavier on the accessory rail). The stock is fine with a large missing chip near the forearm screw and some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically inoperable due to absent bolt and magazine.
