Winchester Model 53

I recently saw a Winchester Model 53 and I liked the look of it. I tried to find out about the 53 on google but there isnt much that I could find. Anyone know much about this rifle?

The Model 53 was made from 1924 until 1932. It was a lever-action rifle serial numbered within the range of the Model 92. The rifle was chambered in several calibers, including .25-20 WCF, .32-20 WCF or .44-40 WCF. My source shows that 24,916 were made before the rifle was discontinued.

Browning sold a pretty little reproduction 53 in .32-20 only.

Probably nearly as expensive as a real one, but likely in a lot better condition.

About $700-$900 for the Brownings and you still see a lot of them NIB. Think I paid $550 for mine but that was several years ago. Great rifles, traditional action, no rebounding hammer and beautifully figured walnut. I'd wager the originals run a lot higher, probably double for a nice one.

The Brownings in 32-20 are pretty nice.

The 53 is basically a 92 with a pistol grip and curved lever. The Browning repos are nice.
