NICE 1926 WINCHESTER M53 LEVER ACTION .32-20 WCF C&R Hunting/Sporting Rifle

ROARING TWENTIES Winchester w/ 25,000 Produced

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 53 Lever Action Rifle manufactured in New Haven, Connecticut in 1926. In 1924, Winchester introduced the Model 53 lever-action rifle as a more modern version of the 1892 Winchester.  The Model 53 was available in 44-40 WCF, 32-20 WCF, and 25-20 WCF calibers.  This rifle could be ordered only with a round 22 inch barrel, the forearm smooth, half-magazine, a plain or pistol grip walnut straight-grip stock, and shotgun butt.  The frame and barrel were blued and had either a solid or takedown feature.

The Model 53 was manufactured through 1932 with approximately 25,000 guns produced during the 8-year production period.  The Model 53 was discontinued along with several other Winchester models because it could just not compete in sales with the 1894 and the impact of the Great Depression on Winchester Arms.

The overall condition is good. Excellent, crisp action. The bore is semi-bright with thin rifling. Solid stock. Markings are legible. Some wiggle is present in the forend. This example has been refinished.
