actually found a yard sale this morning, older gent got to talking bows and guns and he mentioned he had a old .22 with a broken stock. turned out to be a winchester 04A and for 75 bucks it followed me home. he tossed in a old double barrel exposed hammer project gun too. the rifle came with a new stock but I think im.going to try and pin and glue the original. metal has surface rust, very little blue left but it does function.one question, I turn the bolt to open but the bolt doesn't reset, I have to pull it back manually. is that correct?
is there anything special about these rifles? jim

Yes, you have to pull back on the knob for every shot.
I take it is a 22 LR? If so, that is a good thing.
I have a 04-A in 22 LR and it is very accurate.
A little to small for a full grown adult. They were generally made for kids.
Not many have survived in excellent condition. Most are beaters with broken stocks and no finish.
If the bore is good, it will probably be an accurate rifle. Fix it and give it to a younger kid. Big Larry

I really like the look of this model, & have thought about acquiring one to shoot, but knowing it had to be manually cocked has always deterred me. (That & the short butt-stock.) For a kid's gun, it's a good safety feature, but I'm pretty far past that age.
