Sir,
I recently bought a collection of 18 Mod. 56 and 57's. Sold them all but still have some sights etc. if you need any. The rifles ranged from beaters to mint. I just quick saled them.

I have my grandfather's old winchester model 67. He had thrown the bolt away when he gave it to me. Tracking down a new bolt cost 10x what he paid for the rifle from Sears Roebuck. To tell you the truth I would have paid $1000 to restore his old gun. I love it and it still shoots right on the money.

Very nice! To bad they don't make them like that anymore. Just something about all the old rimfire rifles that lure a person to them. Very nice!

My old Winchester model 72 is about 70 years old and you would be hard pressed to find a new 22 that would out shoot it.

Only pic I have of the M75.

From top Anschutz, Winchester M75, couple of 10/22's

Winchester is all original, about 99%, and a shooter too. And made the year I was born!!!

Re: Winchester bolt rimfires

I have my dad's 67. Butt-ugly but it shoots well. I used it alot 40 years ago but I have funner guns now so it doesn't get shot much. I might re-blue and refinish the stock.

Re: Winchester bolt rimfires

I've got a M52B I bought when I was in the Army off a Sgt. looking for gas money to help get him to Ft. Huachuca. Sold me his dad's "bolt action .22" for $35 unseen. I didn't have a clue what it was till I got to looking for info on it in a "blue book of gun prices". It will absolutely knock thumbtacks out of your buddy's pistol target at 25 yds. (used to do it till he caught on to why his target would fall off the backer boards). It will also take out a fly on the target at the same range (just leaves a little bloody spot with a leg or two stuck to the paper.)

I also got a M67 that belonged to my uncle. It a realy sharp shooting little .22 as well. Much more fun to carry in the woods squirrel hunting.

Also have a much smaller single shot Winchester .22. It does not have a safety on it like the M67 does. It too was a track driver until I made the mistake of cleaning all the crud out of the barrel. Looks like a 30 year old sewer pipe and about as accurate now.
