Early Near MINT Vintage Winchester Model 61 Takedown Rifle C. 1941
Description: Early Near MINT Vintage Winchester Model 61 Takedown Rifle C. 1941 With our retail shop and gallery only about 17 miles away from the original Winchester factory, and over our nearly 5 decades in the business we have had the pleasure to offer many fine firearms from that company’s manufacture. Offered here for sale is a very fine opportunity for the Winchester collector to obtain a scarce EARLY Winchester Model 61 .22 caliber takedown rifle. This wonderful specimen, SN 50399 was acquired from a very prominent collection gathered over the last 75 years. This early production circa 1941 specimen is in NEAR MINT condition and appears to have seen very little if any use at all. In addition the rifle exhibits features only found on very early specimens. According to Ned Schwing’s book, Winchesters Slide Action Rifles, Vol 1&2, the tapped upper tang on early M61s made for easy installation of a tang sight, a popular option during the 1930s. “On June 4, 1942 Winchesters no longer tapped holes in the upper tang on the Model 61.” also “On early prewar rifles the slide handle had 11 grooves and was approximately 6 1/2 inches in length.” “Winchester used this 11 groove slide handle on its prewar Model 61s until Feb 16, 1939, or around serial number 42,000, when the length and shape were modified, etc, to approximately 8 3/8” long with 17 grooves.” With just a couple of use marks and slight wear on the slide rail the gun is near 100%. 24” barrel makes this a very sleek collectible as well. A great combination of early manufacture and prime condition. L4 BHIH Please note Hansen & Hansen terms and payment policy BEFORE YOU BID.
