Use & Performance

Even with engraving, this remains:

• A very solid deer rifle
• Reliable woods hunting platform
• Historically significant pre-64 Winchester
• Receiver shows honest age patina consistent with late-1920s production.
• Barrel markings appear correct for the era.
• Wood shows normal handling wear.

Issue Noted:

The previous owner engraved their name onto the receiver.

This is considered permanent personalization and significantly impacts collector value, especially on a pre-64 Winchester.

Because of the receiver engraving: Shooter-grade

As a shooter grade, it still holds strong practical value.
