Jeff,
Been contacting a few guy's that I thought might have a M-57 Short, w/S.S. Barrel, or could help out locating one. They do admit it's a hard to find and one claimed, "a rare bird", which I think we can agree. We'll see if anyone comes back again with one. Not holding my breath though!

Thanks for trying, I appreciate the effort! 

It irks me that I actually had photos of the barrel marking and now can't find them.

Best Regards,

Now if we can just keep him from taking cruises and other distracting things, maybe we might just... maybe... see the new book. 
  

Ben,

Gotta keep mamma happy! Laugh

"Found" it or bought it? : )
You're on a roll! Next time I drive to Cody from Texas, I have to do better about stopping at shops and well-known gun/pawn places along the way...
  

Bought it… 🤷🏼.  Al, that’s one I don’t have, the hunt continues! 😁

I too have a Model 62A with the original picture box. Mine was made in June of 1942 and has a steel serrated butt plate, like what was furnished with the model 55 and pre war 94's.

Thanks!  I don't have that one but I do own this one from the museum, also via Flayderman -

I am very interested in the 78 but the price is a bit steep, the Winchester museum metal hang tag is missing and the books on the 69 and 75 are both done so I can't use it as a tax write-off 😉

Thanks for thinking of me!

Best Regards,

Jeff, found you something you don't have already. Maybe.

That’s awesome Ben!  Serious question, would it be sacrilegious to swap the scarred forearm?

I would be more inclined to clean-up the slide handle stock still on it... any talented wood guy can make those warts disappear without much effort.

M.O.M.

I’d bet our resident M.O.M. wouldn’t get his undies in a bundle about that. 😂
