I originally bought this as a conversation piece... something different... only shot it 2x as u see my avitar that's my baby... more fun than a bold action.
Ok.. I went and called Winchester and they looked my ser# up and it was made in 1972 cause I have a ( G ) in front of the ser#. The Winchester person told me they started the G in front of the ser# around 1970, the parkerized bolt and rec. is one thing but the parkerized barrel is special he said.
will give CDC and cody firearms a try b4 I try Winchester
I can also take different angles of the bolt... will post it so you guys can tell me it this is a pre 64...
Ty for that info.. I guess since Winchester been sold 2-3 times since the rifle was made, I guess the info was trashed or forgotten somewhere within the abyss of
paperwork. Also u said in 1964 receivers and bolt handles were parkerized and Widefields started around that time too, I can...
Ty Riomouse. The prison in Tehachapi makes a lot of sense and ur right it is called CCI but it still stands for Calif correctional institution. I should try and write to Winchester and see if they can give me any documents that can comfirm this. This is why I wanted to come here and get as...

I bet you can but if I gave it to you.. then I will be knocking at your front door saying " I sure can use that site hood " lol
Question is the site hood hard to come by??
You guys see all the different stuff is on there... I don't know anything abt the model 70s, I just bought this as a neat peace...
I said earlier that this had a weaver scope.. I was wrong... I just looked at it again.. its a Redfield 4X Tele screen... square screen .
still would like more...
