  1. Default New Winchester 52D

    Last month I glommed several .22 target rifles at various on-line auctions, including this Winchester 52D.


    It finally arrived at my FFL and I got to take a look at it. The metal and bluing is almost pristine and the stock, while having a few dents and bruises, is also in great shape.

    It has "US" electro-penciled above the serial number on the left side of the receiver, which matches recent sales of these rifle from the CMP. I may contact the CMP and request a record search to confirm this.

    Last month I also glommed a Winchester 52B and a Remington 513T with a Fecker scope on it.

    There but for an instant after reading your title, I imagined Winchester was back in the 22 target rifle game... then I snapped back to reality. Nice score!!

    Winchester and Colt's have quit making more good firearms than others have ever conceived.

    You need to go to Vegas and put it all on Lucky 13.

    Sorry. Guess I should have titled it "New to ME".

    Thanks, shooter. I'll post better pics and hopefully a range report soon. Have to wait for the 10 day "cooling off" period to expire.

    I believe you will consider yourself very fortunate to have owned one in your life time. They are a magnificent firearm.
