Here is more info on the 55. https://winchestercollector.org/models/model-55/

SwampWolf, the 22 rim fire model 55 is a completely different rifle.

The 30wcf was the most common chambering in the 55. Also T.D. versions are more common than solid frame with the solid frame being worth more to a collector. In my area 500-650 tops for 30-30.32 special would bring 50-100 more and 25-35 even more.I personally love the look of a well worn but...

They sure messed up the pictures.

With the barrel off and mag. tube out you may need a flashlight to look into the mag. tube hole to see it. Or you can take the forearm off to see the date code,barrel may also have 30wcf and MNS stamped on it.

The barrel should have a date stamped on it. You can check by removing the barrel and it should be on the bottom just ahead of where the threads start. Should be 26 or 25
