RARE Winchester Model 54, CAL: .30 U.S., MFG: 1929, SN: 20228, Bolt Action Rifle, 24'' barrel. The model 54 was the first successful civilian production run of a centerfire bolt action for Winchester. They are fairly rare model with total production of just over 50,000 in all variations from 1929 to 36. The Model 54 Winchester was catalogued in ten calibers: .22 Hornet, .220 Swift, .250 Savage, .257 Roberts, .270 Winchester, .30-30 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, & three metric calibers 7X57 MM, 7.65X53 MM, & 9X57 MM. Chamberings other than the ten listed were available on special order. These include .25-35 Winchester, .32 Winchester Special, .35 Whelen,& possibly a few others. During the hard times in the late 1920s & early 1930s, buyers of rifles were not prone to paying for special order items. Consequently, very few Model 54s were produced in other than the ten listed chamberings. That makes this rifle chambered in .30 U.S. very rare. The original checkered & flat pistol grip wood stock on this example is very good, with several small surface scrapes to the original finish, along with other minor contusions or scratches. There is a 1'' crack repair at the forend tip. The original metal blue finish rates 95% on the barrel & receiver, while the floorplate & trigger guard rate 70%. Bore is excellent. The rifle is fitted with a two leaf rear & pinned blade front sight. Buttstock carries the original serrated metal buttplate. Sling eyelets. An all original & high condition examples in the rarely encountered 30 U.S. Caliber. FFL or C&R Req - Value: 2500 to 4500
