In 1963 I got a new Win 77 tube feed when I was 12 year old. The retail price was $55, and the Winchester prices were franchised, but I could get a wholesale price on that specific model through purchasing agents where my father worked.

I got sand in it and it jammed. I sold it for $12 in 1970.

In August 2016 I got a Win 77 clip feed made in ~1961 for $179.

As you can see the clip fed is missing the safety. The safety is not easy to install. I made a 2 minute Youtube pictorial showing one way to do it.
