I have found that the originals were produced in the 1930's used for squirrel and rabbit hunting. Mine is from 1936 and was my Grandfathers during the depression for food. I am also selling mine to get my son's a deer gun. Will stay in touch
It will be stamped into the action (the cylindrical part that encloses the bolt)
It depends on the particular model of the rifle, not the caliber it is in. What model and make is it?
On the vast number of the various Winchester models, the Model designation is stamped on the barrel, or on the upper tang. If you can tell me what type of action it has, I can point you in the right direction.
That would be a model 1889.
You need to post the model number of the gun. It will be stamped right into the barrel.
It should be stamped on the barrel It should be stamped on the barrel
Marlin made a model 98 semi-auto .22cal rifle from 1957-1959.They also made a model 980 bolt action .22cal rifle from 1962-1970.They did not make a model 98 bolt action rifle in .22caliber.
this is a bolt action rifle
Need to know the make and model of the rifle in order to answer this.
My Springfield model 83 ( J Stevens) is stamped 22 Short, Long and Long Rifle on Barrel. If yours is as well, then yes, it would fire LR rounds.
Your model number should be posted on the rifle.If it has worn off do to age and handling then you have 4 choices.First if it is marked 30US.then you have a Model 1895 lever action rifle.Second if it is marked 30WCF,then you have a early model 1894 lever action rifle,or a model 55 lever action rifle.Last you could have a model 64 lever action rifle in 30-30 Win.
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.
