Rare rifle with 22″ medium weight rnd bbl with the pressure test device over the chamber area which consists of a large, heavy steel ring with a precision fit piston in the top which accesses the chamber area. Top of this large ring and the top of the receiver have an unusual proof mark. Receiver is the thick wall, flat side variety found with high pressure cartridge rifles and on pressure test rifles. Mounted with uncheckered American walnut without forearm and with straight stock & crescent buttplate. This receiver and SN 112301 and 112302 were the last 3 Highwalls to be used for pressure testing new cartridges. At this point, Winchester began pressure tests with bolt action receivers and other lugged fixtures. This particular receiver, if inspected, will show the entire cartridge, bore, twist, etc. information is engraved on the right side of the barrel. This particular action #112300 was for the .351 W.S.L. Cartridges. The other two consecutively numbered receivers were for the other two S.L. Cartridges .35 and .401. None of the receivers were cut for extractors. The shells were driven out after fired for inspection. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl & collar retain about 95% orig blue. Receiver, with a few minor scratches on each side, retains 96-98% glossy orig blue. Lever, hammer, breech block & buttplate retain most of their orig case colors, moderately to mostly faded. Stock is sound with minor nicks & dings and a series of bruises on each side of wrist, probably from the pressure test machinery and retains most of its orig varnish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-32205 JR251 (2,500-4,000)
