Need a DETAILED description of ALL markings, barrel length, type of action.
Value of a 1980 Winchester rifle 22 short octagonal barrel?
Need to know who made it, how long the barrel is, exactly what 22 caliber it is (short, long, long rifle, etc.) and overall condition before being able to help with an answer.
If barrel is round, it is a post-WWII Model 29. If the barrel is octagonal, and the grip is checkered, it is probably a pre-WWII Model 29. If the barrel is octagonal and the stock is plain, it is likely a Model 25. That's as close as I can get sight unseen.
probably early 1900's
NO!!
In Ohio, the legal minimum barrel length for a rifle is 16 inches. Any rifle with a barrel length shorter than that would be considered a short-barreled rifle, which is regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA).
The minimum legal barrel length for a rifle without requiring it to be tax stamped and registered as a Short Barreled Rifle is 16 inches - that's federal law, and not just Vermont.
Manufactured: 1913 The manufacture month and year of a Remington rifle can be determined from a letter and number code stamped near the back of the barrel on the right side. If your Model 12 is not marked 12A, 12B, 12C, 12CS, 12D, 12E, or 12F, it is a basic Model 12.
Springfield is the manufacturer. A rifle is a long arm with a rifled barrel. A carbine is a short rifle, generally considered having a barrel length of 20 inches or less. All carbines are rifles but not all rifles are carbines.
What do you mean by short barrel? They were all 24" barrels. The barrel is measured by putting a stick ( or whatever ) down the barrel from the muzzle until it hits the bolt, it is not the measurement from the muzzle to where it hits the receiver. True for all guns. That is the barrel length. The 241 is a "Takedown" Rifle, so you have about 3/4 of an inch beyond where the barrel meets the receiver that is threaded so you can assemble and disassemble the rifle.
Without a detailed description, no way to tell. Broad range of 100-1000 USD.
Without requiring a permit for a short-barreled rifle (SBR), 16 inches. That's federal law.
