I recently acquired a 67a in what I would call near mint condition. It is configured with model 68 sights, 97a ramp front with a missing hood. A 96a peep mounted in the normal rear sight dovetail. In addition it has a factory looking 11/4″ sling swivel in front only, ala 69a JTSS. No tool marks anywhere from bubba. My googler is worn out so I’m here. I’d be happy to PM pics. Thanks for any help in figuring this one out.

I would remove the Model 68 peep, it just looks wrong there, seems it would be hard to even see. Needs some pics of the barrel roll marking and the whole rifle would be nice.

What you have is a 67A that someone put target sights on.

Winchester discontinued the model 68 and added the 67 target as an option in 1943. 

The 68 and 67 were the same except for sights.

I have no clue on the sling swivels but drought they are factory.

Thanks alot for the assistance. I was extremely skeptical of originality, but I don’t know everything so I had to ask. Take care.
