A magnet sticks to it, so I assume it's steel.


With that in mind I would buy that one from you. You can tell the alloy ones they look like they're painted black rather than blued steel.

Sounds like the receiver on the 57 is an alloy one James by your PM, so it's back up for sale.

The Model 56 was introduced in 1955 and was discontinued in 1964. It was chambered only in .22RF, had a 7-shot "clip"magazine and a 22" barrel and steel receiver;

the Model 57 was introduced in 1959 and lasted until 1965. It was also only chambered in .22RF and had a 22" barrel but had a tube type magazine with an aluminum receiver;

the Model 57M was introduced in 1959 and was discontinued in 1969. It was chambered in .22 Magnum, fed with a tube style magazine and wore a 24" barrel with a steel receiver.

Finally, the Model 62 was introduced in 1963 and was discontinued in 1969. In addition to the aforementioned .256 (not .356!) Winchester, it was chambered in .22 Jet and .30 cal. Carbine. To my knowledge, this model was not chambered in.22 Magnum and none of the models under discussion were ever chambered in .22 Hornet. The Model 62 was fed with a 4-shot "clip" and had a 24" barrel with a steel receiver.

Well, that explains why I've never found a model 57 with a steel receiver to match my early 56. crazy I'll look again.

Contrary to my hopes, looks like a lot of "lookie loos".

Try until Wednesday, then it's off to online gunauction sites.
