This rifle was bought new by my father in 1956 at a country store in Everett , Pa.
It has many squirrels and rabbits to Its credit. Wish I had a dime for every round i shot out of it. Still doing it’s job perfectly at almost 70!

Here is another I “rescued” from the “Needs Minor Repair” rack at my LGS (Large chip in stock at the upper tang):
Serial #36752 (1938)
Round Barrel
”—.22 S. L. OR L.R.—“
Top Tang w/two screw holes
NO “W” below serial #
Checkered Steel Buttplate
NO grooves on receiver for scope
Flat Muzzle Face
NO magazine collar
I’ll add . . . .
It has the early, SHORT, Flat-bottom, 11-ring pump handle.

The large chip missing from the stock appears to be a problem that is fairly common on Model 61’s . I have seen it many times. The muzzle on yours should be cut perfectly flat.

It is in fact a new addition to my data. I now have 10,510 rifles cataloged and have begun doing statistical work and building a reference website that with distill all the info I have gathered. Thanks so much for the help. I might have it up by summers end if fly fishing does not interfere too much!
The last receiver in the polishing room in 1946 was 76700. Most likely your rifle was fully assembled in early 1947.

Thanks so much. It’s a new one for my data. 1953 production and about 2000 rifles before the receiver top began to be grooved for a scope mount.

And thank you also. Both are new additions. Does 257408 have a checkered steel or black plastic butt plate on the stock?
