looking at a Winchester model 56 sporting rifle with stainless steel barrel with checkered stock and rubber butt. it doesn’t have a with a magazine with it. what should be on the bottom of the magazine the 1919 patent or the Winchester trade mark one?
The magazine you need for your Model 56 will have the 1919 patent date on the magazine base plate, and the follower will be marked as to caliber: either .22 SHORT or .22 LONG R.

What is the serial number on the subject rifle?

Sometime these scarce rifles can bring big bucks. The last stainless M56 I saw was $2,500 and that was 35 years ago. As for the magazine, the original mag will be hard to find and very expensive.Took me years to find the correct magazine for my M56 Short. Hope you can make a deal on this rare gun at a fair price. Originality is the key here. Let the forum folks guide you. Big Larry
