*WINCHESTER MODEL 54 BOLT ACTION RIFLE.

*WINCHESTER MODEL 54 BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Cal. 30-06. SN 45825A. Fine late Model 54 with 24″ tapered rnd bbl, ramp front sight with hood, slot blank in the rear seat with a Lyman 48 WJS receiver sight with long slide. It is mounted in a very nicely figured straight grain walnut stock with fine checkered panels on the forestock & grip with factory sling loops & a checkered steel buttplate. CONDITION: Extremely fine, as new. Possibly unfired, retaining virtually all of its orig factory finish to both metal & wood with one or two very minor mars to the surface finish. Bolt face retains about half of its orig blue & the rails have only a faint scrape. Chamber area is still loaded with grease. Floorplate has flaked to a light patina, not from wear, while the trigger guard retains almost all of its orig blue. It was noted that the bolt handle slot in the rear end of the receiver usually has a corresponding cut in the stock to accommodate the standard Model 54 bolt. This bolt handle appears to be more of a Model 70 style, that is numbered to the receiver, and does not have as severe a bend as the Model 54 and while the receiver has the cutout notch, the stock does not. Crisp mechanics, brilliant shiny bore. 4-57139 JR660 (750-1,250)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2005

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
