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. 😂

In this case it's a tall ask, but that's what we do for each other in the collecting community. It's our turn to try to help you locate what you need. I'll do some searching later today and make some phone calls. Maybe, just Maybe, we can accommodate you.

Try contacting this fellow - Just got a winchester Model 57 | Rimfire Central Firearm Forum
  

Yup, already did that, he has not posted on RFC in awhile and has not yet responded to my PM.  I have another 57 SS Short (not sure why it is not in the survey) with the owner that I PM'd also.

Best Regards,

Thanks, just one number off but got that one, keep looking.  The 56 in .22 Short with stainless is easy versus the comparative 57.
Best Regards,
  

I only found (1) Model 57 Stainless barreled 22 Short listed in my copy of the survey... s/n 23524.

Yes, it is AMAZING how much you can get done when not working 60 hrs/week!
