…tube really well & the inside of the rod that pushes the ammo into the ramp. Finally it feeds perfectly just like it did back in the 60's & 70's! It took me a bit to catch on to the feed tube & feed tube rod being the culprit. I am really happy that it is functioning like it should!

Yes it does have the original receiver sight. You may be correct. Possibly that is what the forward screws in the barrel was for a target scope front mount. 

Wow--somebody must have bought a new drill-press & wanted to see what it could do!  The standard rcvr. mounted…

…at the 52. It is a nice gun but has been drilled like the C style but also has two holes on the barrel. I guess for a rear sight. Priced at $2700 out the door this may be over priced I am gathering?

Does it still have the original Lyman 48 rcvr. sight?  Can't figure purpose of 2…

…holes on the brl.--why use a rear sight if it was scoped, & also provided with a rcvr. sight.  Someone intending to mount a target-type scope might have used the holes on the brl for attaching the forward block, & the holes in the rcvr. for the rear block.

Whether $2700

This would be particularly egregious to do to a target model, which has factory scope blocks.  But a Sporting Model without a scope is severely limited for serious small game hunting.  I know this for a

…were not coming Pre drilled for mounts. Especially when as I have read, the C being manufactured at the same time were being drilled and the model 70’s were drilled from the late 40’s. Did Winchester offer to drill barrels as an option especially on the B Style. What is the latest B SN recorded?

"B" Sporting models continued to be produced after "C" target models were in full production, so this ser. no. would be about right for '53.  Hard to believe, isn't it, that the factory could be so backward…

…as regards scope mounting, even on an over-priced, top of the line, model like the Sporting 52B? 

90% cond. would be excellent for a target model, but most Sporting models seem to have survived in better cond. (suggesting their carriage-trade owners didn't subject them to a lot of use
