…53 is grouped with model 92 in the "when was my winchester made" serial look up section. The serial number of my model 53 in 44wcf is 470. According to the serial look up my gun was made in 1892. I know that is incorrect. Matter of fact the barrel has a 25 stamped…

…. Smart & well executed mods, such as checkering, I'd pay more, not less, for. So please let me know when you run across a nicely checkered Model 69! (There's a beautifully re-stocked one on GI, but at $1000, I have to pass.)

Interesting information! Just for fun, I just calculated the same statistics for the Model 43. What I found is that of the (878) I have documented that are in the May 1948 - October 1950 range (pre factory D&T for a scope), (394…
…) of them have been altered from original (primarily D&T for a scope). That equates to a 44.9% alteration rate. The Models 65 and 71 also have high rates of alteration.

…here where the REAL EXPERTS are located. I am somewhat of a gun tinkerer and have been fixing and repairing them since about 1958 and have had many model 63's apart for one reason or another.

…original collectable rifles and that, coupled with natural attrition such as fire, flood, theft, etc. drives the price higher, especially in those models such as the Model 56 where there were only about 8,500 produced and theoretically about 5,000 still in original (unmodified) condition, and then…

From what I see you need the dust cover, stop screw and the dust cover stop. You can only use the first model cover. They make repos of the dust cover but even those are in short supply these days. You can keep a eye on Ebay for originals.
