I'm not familiar with a "Winchester model 77". Is this a bolt action gun or a lever-action rifle? Winchester's famous bolt-action hunting rifle is called the Model 70. Their most famous lever-action guns are the 1873 and 1894 models. Ruger is a company that has a bolt-action rifle called the Model 77.
I have looked for myself and I now believe that it was made by Ruger.
Its a pistol. More specifically a 6-shot, single-action revolver, made by Sturm Ruger and Company.
Winchester made a Model 1887 lever-action shotgun from 1887 - 1899. Norinco currently makes a reproduction of the Model 1887.
With the serial number that you have provided,your Winchester model 88 lever action rifle was made in the year 1962.
No.
Kalishnikov
Yes, Ruger made them
The last model 99F was made in the year 1973.
Made from 1963-1973.
Millions made.
The only Winchester made lever action rifle was the model 88.I would refer you to a good gunsmith to put your model 88 lever action rifle back together again,as these rifles are complex and should not be attempted by a novice.
