Winchester 67 Drilled and tapped|Winchester .22 Rim Fire|Forum|Winchester Collector

Once we can see the pictures we should be able to help.

The nine (9) factory-scoped Model 67’s include the G67750R (677 w/2 3/4x), G67766R (677 w/5x), G67770R (.22 WRF 677 w/2 3/4x), G67780R (.22 WRF 677 w/5x) and the “dual sight” 67 models with both scope and iron sights which include the G6751R, G6752R, G6755R, G6756R and the G6762R.

Useful pictures would be the muzzle, the proof marks, the mounting holes, barrel roll-marking and an overall picture of the rifle and stock. 

Also, what is the barrel length?  And what is the measurement center to center from the rear mounting base to the front?

This information is what defines what you have as indicated by the catalog model numbers above.

Not sure if this affects your decision making process but the correct 5X scope and bases will cost you $600-700.  The Parker Hale sights are going for $150-$200ish.

Since it has the late style pre-war stock there is a good chance it was shipped without a scope, the British proof mark under where the rear base would normally be is also a clue.  The Brits were desperate and bought every .22 Winchester had in stock that would go “bang”.  They sorted the sights out on their end when they were received.  Winchester ran out of the “see-through” bases before anything else so Parker Hale made copies of them to mount the Winchester scopes.  When Winchester then ran out of scopes Parker Hale took the rifles minus the scopes and added PH sights to them.  They were desperate times……

That is why it is so cool to see rifles with a history like yours.

If you do decide to sell it, I am your buyer.  It would pair nicely with my matching 697.

Best Regards,

So, as a newbie collector long ago I didn’t like them, I was on the hunt for all original, correct specimens, but now that I have those, I like the cool factor and provenance of the ones with “British Graffiti” on them as well.

Best Regards,

 Got My Cinderella  Rifle book  on  22  In Home Guard. Interesting  reading.
Not looking like can afford or find the Winchester  Scope setup.
 I’ve decided to  go with the Receiver and Front  sight.
 So, looks like I have the  Correct  front Parker Hale  Front  Sight.  The  FS 23
 What  Parker Hale  Rear would I be looking  for?   For the  Rounded  Receiver. The  PH 16 ?  Not a Lot of info  out there.

Yes, the PH16 is the one you need but be very, very careful as the PH16 was made in a lot of different configurations for a large variety of rifles.  Some of the sights have a suffix such as the PH16G to denote the application but some of the early ones are only marked “PH16” so you have to check the mounting hole spacing, the inside radius to match your receiver and the mounting position (you need a left-side mounted sight) since some came as a right sight mount.

I am currently in the process of looking for one also so hopefully we won’t get into a bidding war on eBay 😉

Hi Steff,

Jump right in, no worries!

Yes!, that appears to be a 677 that was purchased by GB for Home Guard use.  The scope bases appear to be Winchester #8 style bases which are not quite correct (slightly higher, but fully functional).  Most of the rifles used by the British Home Guard were turned back into the British Army at the end of the war and the few that remained in service sometimes got the British “Broad Arrow” marking stamped on the stock.  It is possible that is what was ground-off your stock as I have a 67 example with the broad arrow stamped in that same spot.

Please buy it, or tell me where it is located 😉
