*PROTOTYPE WINCHESTER WINGO GALLERY RIFLE. Cal. 22 Shot. Special prototype made at Webley for Winchester with 22-1/2″ vent rib bbl, having dbl. beads with long grasping groove beavertail forearm and pistol grip Monte Carlo stock with Webley black composition buttplate. The martini action is completely flat sided with loop finger lever and fixed trigger guard with loading cutout on the right side. Fixed through the forearm, similar to a magazine tube, is an electronic tether cable with activation button at the tip of the forearm. We believe this to be the only known existing prototype. It is in caliber 22 rather then the 5mm 20 Cal. which was used in the production models. Further indication of prototype status is the absence of “WINGO” on the sides of the receiver. Accompanied by a letter of provenance, production reports, test reports and other information articles and pamphlets. SN 22W3. CONDITION: Excellent. The bbls and cable tube retain 97-98% bright original blue. Receiver, most of its refinished blue and the wood is sound retaining most of its original varnish. Bright shiny bore. 4-46889 JR330 (1,000-5,000)
