Winchester Model 52C Sporter Bolt Action Rifle
Description Update 11-15-2024: Stock shows a little older added varnish

serial #97300C, 22 LR, 24'' barrel with a bright, excellent bore. This is a very handsome Model 52C sporter. The barreled action retains 98-99% original blue, the loss being only some very light handling wear and some light operational fading, the receiver starting to drift very slightly to plum. The bottom metal retains about 99% original blue, with perhaps some light silvering on the sharp edges of the triggerguard. The crown of the muzzle and bolt body remain bright, the bolt is numbered to the gun on its underside. The checkered walnut capped pistolgrip Monte Carlo stock rates very fine to excellent with nearly all of its original varnish and only light handling marks here and there from use afield. The arm has its original Winchester front sight with hood, there is no rear receiver sight currently present, the receiver is properly factory drilled and tapped for scope mounting. Included with the arm is a single original Winchester-marked magazine, a set of Weaver mounts, and Super Grade sling swivels on a Hunter leather sporting sling. A very fine 1957-made example of Winchester's last Model 52 sporting rifle, and the model with the lowest production numbers. (4B11692-1) {C&R} (4000/6000)
