sactollerNeed some info on a Winchester Model 52? Photo heavy!!!
I have aquired a very very nice model 52. I am in need of some information about them. It is a very low serial number, 291xx. From what I can tell, it was made in 1934. It also, has a long target scope on it, J.W. Fecker, 3509. The scope is cloudy, I am assuming it needs a cleaning. The scope basis also, say JW Fecker.
The wood is fantastic and the blueing is as close to new as I have ever seen in a rifle this old. The only, bad part is some nimrod scribed his DL# on the bottom metal and a small patch of rust, that can be seen in the photo. The butt plate show slight wear around the edges.
It also, comes in a handmade wood case that was done many moons ago.
What is the value of this rifle, also, which model 52 is it?
Thanks,

dustoffersactoller--I'd go on over to RimfireCentral.com and post in the Winchester forum. I'm sure you'll get lots of info, drooling, and offers to buy.
