Model 56/57 Research Survey|Page 20|Winchester Research Surveys|Forum|Winchester Collector

Rob,

Thanks for sharing your information, you have a great looking Model 56 and a new entry in the survey!  Serial #2660 was made in 1926 and is a first year of production rifle.  Not only is it chambered in the lesser manufactured .22 Short, but it has the optional (and VERY hard to find) .22 short 10-round magazine.  

Your rifle appears to be a great condition and all original.  I am sorry I cannot shed any light on the “60” on the stock, I have never seen one with a number stamped in that location before.

Your pictures worked fine with the imgur links but I have embedded them here so it is easier for everyone else to view your great heirloom.

Best Regards,
