It was a bit of sentimental thing since the first rifle I carried in the woods was a 25-20 (Winchester 53). Both sights are missing, a weaver J4 and N2 mount added, some stock issues, replacement clip but it looks period correct. Serial number is 35753 which I think is fairly early in the production run. Maybe some woodchuck action this summer? Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

Joe Not an easy rifle to find in that caliber. If it was checkered I'd really be jealous. "You cannot invade mainland America.

I've always thought (and spent money accordingly) that only factory mags have that "knurling/checkering". Please enlighten me. Thank you, Doug An armed society is a polite society.

The guy I bought it from was complaining that he picked up the gun from an estate without the clip thinking he could pick one up cheap. He ended up paying $100 for the clip. Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
