Winchester 100 in .358 caliber

[kenhwind]

It is possible that Winchester may have used some of the 358 barrels in the Model 100. Although I was under the impression that the 100 was not chambered in 358, this rifle surely look correct in in my non-expert qualified opinion.

Something as unusual as this calls for a factory letter. Contact:

What's the serial #?

Thank you all for your thoughts and comments on the rifle, Ser# is noted on first post and I have written Cody Museum and await the response. As to the circumstances, I acquired this gun without regard to rarity but rather to price, it was not priced as "the only 358 ever built" if in fact it truly is or not, which I hope to determine. As I gather more information I will post that to share. I appreciate the knowledge and information that you all are sharing.

Just to further update you , The Cody Museum does not have any information on this gun in there system, so unable to further the research that way. I would love to be able to prove or disprove it one way or the other so if anyone has any more ideas they would be appreciated. Thanks again to all who have shared there knowledge it has been helpfull.
