Saw one of a reported three in existence at a gun show today. Interesting concept but wondering why only three were built. Anybody else seen one. Owner said he acquired it in August of this year. Adjustable stock for LOP and comb height as well as cast. Built in mid 1950's.
How much and could they prove who did the mods?

The show was a collector show and the owner/exhibitor had a letter from the prior owner and a Winchester letter which stated that there were three or four known from the factory and that gun was traced to a former employee at the factory. It was purchased by the current owner in August of this year and he subsequently had found out that there were only three built at the factory like this. At least that was his story. He was not offering it for sale.
Ya never know with Winchester.
