After some lengthy negotiations, I was able to secure the 218 bee model 65 from WACA member Henry Mero. Made in 1938(Ser # 1004121). It’s in almost new condition and I rate it 98%+. It was the missing piece in

That is a gorgeous Model 65. The 32-20 version is scarcer than the 218 Bee (although you'd never know it given the popularity of the 218 Bee). I had a nice Model 65 in

I suspect that you have a Model 53 receiver frame that has been rebarreled using a Model 65 218 Bee barrel. There are several visual clues that can help solve the mystery, but I will need to see several clear pictures of the rifle.

…the receiver look fake and out of line, and I think it may be a late 1941 gun. I don't believe there was a Winchester government contract for the Model 12 until later in 1942.
By the way Larry, I've seen original high condition Model 12 trench guns sell in the last few years for $15,000 - $20

Hi Jeremy,
I'm pretty confident either of these sight elevators will fit your rear sight that is currently mounted on your model 1890. In addition to these, I also have one for sale that has the patent date stamping. Send me a PM if you are interested in any of these.

Your picture(s) did not post. If you are unable to post teh pictures, send them to me via email.
The Model 1887 was not factory blued. The receiver frame and lever were case color finished as manufactured by Winchester.

Hello all! Hoping for some information….I happened upon a local gentlemen that has a Model 90 in 22 LR that he is wanting to sell. It is a 1927 mfg based upon serial number and is in excellent condition. I would say around a 96-98%…

What is the serial number on your very nice looking Model 65 rifle (so that I can add it to the research survey) ?
