Product Description

WINCHESTER M69A Bolt Action HUNTING/PLINKING .22 RF C&R Repeater with SLING

First Produced by WINCHESTER in 1935

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 69A Bolt Action .22 Caliber Rimfire Repeating Rifle, made circa 1937 to 1945 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Winchester Model 69 is a bolt-action .22 caliber repeating rifle first produced in 1935 by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. It was marketed as Winchester’s mid-priced bolt-action rimfire sporting rifle, positioned above inexpensive single-shot rifles such as the Model 68 and beneath the prestigious Model 52. Model 69/69A were sold with a 5-shot magazine until circa 1945.

In November 1937, several substantial design changes were made. The bolt was redesigned to cock on opening, the safety was changed to a sliding lever on the right-hand side of the receiver, the prominent rear cocking piece was eliminated, and the barrel was given a constant-diameter round contour rather than the previous slightly tapered contour, increasing the weight of the rifle slightly. The trigger mechanism also incorporated an internal screw adjustment, allowing the owner to adjust the trigger pull weight to some degree. The improved rifle was designated as the Model 69A.

The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish is preserved. Excellent action. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The stock is in fine shape with minimal wear. Markings are legible. Good leather sling. Here is the rifle that every 14 year old boy wanted for Christmas, that many a squirrel were taken out of the woods hunting with Dad!
