Picked up a new .22

[younggun22]

Bought a Winchester Model 52 pre-A today. It was built it 1926,and has a Winchester A5 scope on top of it.

I'll get pictures up when I go and get it tomorrow.

It has some problems, the rear sight is missing and the stock is split but can be easily repaired. Doesn't look too bad for an 85 year old rifle.

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement 82a rear sight for it?

Always wanted a 52, I cant wait to shoot it!

Sir,
There are alot of variations on the old Win sights and some use "wedges" to fit the sight to the blocks. I have a few. Show pic of top and rec and hopefully the sight you need. I might have one. Do you have the Houze book on 52 win's?
