Not opinion… facts.
51921 = June 1940
289371 = mid-year 1960

Hello Larry,
What is the configuration of each rifle? I ma working on a survey of this Model and would like to add them into my database. SN 51921 is most likely a counterbore Shot Only rifle based on what data I have. SN 289371 is most likel ya standard rifle for .222 Short, Long, & Long Rifle. https://winchestercollector.org/forum/winchester-research-surveys/model-61-research-survey/
