With the serial number you provided,your Winchester model 52C was made in the year 1956.
1952
I can say that the total production of model 52 Winchester rifles were 125,419 from 1919-1979.There were 32 more made after 1979.It is believed that between 500-1,000 Winchester 52C models were made during the 60 years of production.
The Winchester model 52C which was introduced in 1947 will range in price from 500 dollars for a gun with 60% of its original finish,up to 1,200 dollars for a nice example with 95% of its original finish remaining.
Most Winchester rifles are valued by using a percentage system of original finish remaining.The Winchester model 52C is no exception.If your rifle has between 60%-90% of its original finish remaining on the wood and metal then a standard model 52C will bring between 500-1,000 dollars.If you have a model 52C heavy target model then 650-1,000 dollars,if you have a model 52C bull target then 900-1,200 dollars,and if you have a model 52C sporter then between 1,400-2,850 dollars.these last models were only produced between 500-1,000 total.

To remove the bolt from a Winchester Model 52C, first ensure the rifle is unloaded for safety. Then, locate the bolt release lever on the right side of the receiver; push it down while simultaneously pulling the bolt rearward. Once the bolt is fully retracted, it can be lifted out of the receiver. Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
