YOu need a gunsmith
It means 'Winchester Proofed'! Around 1903 or there abouts, all barrels installed by the Winchester factory started were stamped with a 'WP"within an oval on top of the barrel at the breech end just before the receiver, it was added the the top of the receiver where the barrel screws into it around 1905 when all Winchester's were stamped in both places. If a gun smith outside of the factory ordered a new or different caliber barrel from the factory to replace the 'original' one, it would be shipped with only a 'P' stamped onto the barrel instead of the 'WP'. This is a sure sign that the barrel on any Winchester was a replacement, and though a "Winchester" barrel it was not installed by the factory. Additionally, any rifle returned to the factory for barrel replacement AFTER 1905 would have one installed with the 'WP' on it, irregardless if the gun was originally made BEFORE 1903/05. For collectors this is an obvious indicator that the barrel is a replacement IF the serial number indicates it was manufactured BEFORE 1903. Hope this clears things up for you....................Regards, Marty
That would depend on the type of barrel with the shotgun(plain,matte solid rib,or vent rib barrel)if a poly choke is present on the end of the barrel,and what condition the shotgun is in.
Made from 67-73. No sn's required before 1968. Check barrel and receiver.
Count the sides of that barrel before you shout at us. If it has 8 flat sides, it is an OCTAGON.
PRESSURE (atmospheric) effects the sinus membraneSEE what a plumber has to know
The serial number is on the passenger side of the receiver, just rear of the barrel. If there is no serial number your cooey was manufactured before 1968, when no s.n. was required.
Winchester 9416 Trappers before 1981 are Pre-USRAC and also before the design change. They sell for around $800. in good used condition, The 16" Trapper is highly desirable regardless of year of mfg.
before answering your question,please include the serial number along with the condition of your rifle.also include any special features such as take down model engraving(if present).
It's probably an iron ferrite ring. These are used to remove the effects of crosstalk from the wires before they reach the computer or device.
The Serial Number, Caliber, barrel Length, Model Style (Carbine, Musket, Sport), and condition need to be determined before a value can be given. Lots of pictures of markings imperfections, the inside of the barrel and shots of the entire gun would be needed.
Before anyone can help, you have to tell us if it is a rifle or shotgun. What the caliber/gauge is, how long the barrel(s) is/are, and the type of action (bolt, semi-auto, pump, slide).
Yes. I doubt if Winchester ever produced a firearm without the company name or at least the WRA emblem prominently displayed. Slight correction to my previous answer. Winchester manufactured shotguns and a few rifles for Sears Roebuck and these will not carry the company name or trademark. However, even if produced BY Winchester as an exact copy of a company model, they are NOT Winchesters. The name Winchester is often stamped just to the right of the rear sight. -j. On 1894 and 94 rifles made before WWII, the name WINCHESTER is stamped on the upper stock tang. On post-war guns, it is on the left side of the barrel, below the rear sight.
