Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors model 53 25-20 in SS

If you look at littlebuf's pictures, his 53 is a take-down also. I have the same exact rifle, mine is in the 3400 serial # range, and also has that stainless steel barrel marking. Great little rifles. Amazing that of the few posters here, we can account for three of them!

I have 4 53,s 3 in 25-20 and one in 32-20 , none of them are stainless steel barreled, and pretty sure one is a solid frame and three takedowns.they are in the picture under the 1876 bayonet !!!! Don

funny mine came from New Hampshire.well by way of new york first.grandfather bought it brand new in 1926 while logging in new york.months wages at 16 years old is the story.Dad grew up in New Hampshire thats where this rifle came to me from.family still owns 16 acres on deer island,used to be 32 acre "camp rugged" is what Appa called it,donated 16 acres to the state for a bird sanctuary after he died.ran it as a camp for a while back in the day for the summer season on winipisokki (man i butchered that spelling),but im sure you know thw lake im talking about.its "the lake" after all.i gotta get back east,its been a while

Winnipesaukee, its about 20 miles away from me as the crow flys, but takes a little over 1/2 hr to get there !!!!! mine all came locally , over 40 years!!! Don

Loggah do you have any idea what the average value would be I'd like to move mine down the road?

macdog, I really hate to establish prices,i do know condition is everything, go to a bunch of auction sites and look at completed auctions and maybe you can get an idea!!, i've had mine over twenty years so what i paid is way low i'm sure. Don

I have visited a few auctions. If I can establish a fair condition of the rifle and a resonable price you may see it on the fire. thanks
