Winchester Model 43 Bolt Action Rifle, #22019A, .218 Bee cal., 24" tapered round barrel, hooded ramped blade front and semi-buckhorn rear sights, blue finish, smooth walnut one-piece pistol grip stock, one unmarked 5-rd. detachable box magazine, sling swivels, and a period leather military style rifle sling. Mfg'd 1950. Rifle is in very good overall condition with metal surfaces having drifted to an even plum patina, and original blue finish still evident in the protected areas, trigger guard and magazine well. Left wall of the receiver has four additional tap holes for a side mount, three are filled and one is vacant. Receiver also has been factory drilled and tapped for a receiver sight at the rear of the action with the holes filled. There are crisp Winchester "WP" proofs on the barrel and front ring and a matching serial number on the bolt. Trigger shows muted case colors. Stock is in very good condition ending with a checkered steel buttplate providing a 13-3/8" LOP. Bright bore is good with defined rifling, and the action works well on this early Model 43, desirable in the .218 Bee chambering. Est.: $700-$900. (C&R)
