Hello, My grandfather left me this gun when he died. I need to sell it but don’t know much about guns. Can anyone give me an idea of the condition grade & value or any more info that is not printed on it? I greatly appreciate it. It wasn’t used much. Its a little dusty.

The little I know is: “MODEL 67-22 SHORT, LONG AND LONG RIFLE”, manufactured before 1935 I believe.

Thank you! Brigitte

Hello Brigitte,

The Model 67 was introduced in the year 1934, and based on the configuration and markings on your rifle, it was manufactured sometime within the first three years of production. It does appear to be in excellent condition, would be of great interest to the fellows who collect this model. I do not know exactly how much it is worth, but I suspect that the bidding on it would quickly push the price up to $500 .

A very nice example, I’m a little jealous as I  collect Winchester 22’s. Thanks for showing it.

Winchester didn’t introduce the model 67 with target sights until after WW2.(Per Herbert G. Houze To The Dreams of Youth Page 154)  Before that the model 68 was the same but with target sights. The front sight is at the least short 3 parts or was maybe changed. I’m not sure the stock is correct as the finger grove stock was discontinued around 1937.

I believe if you look closely at the barrel inscription, you have a model 68. (similar to the model 67, but with rear peep and front ramp globe sight)

Yours is missing parts of the front sight. I think it’s worth at most $200. Pictures are of mine with complete sights, DSCN1598-1.JPGImage EnlargerDSCN1599-1.JPGImage EnlargerDSCN1600-1.JPGImage EnlargerDSCN1603-1.JPGImage Enlarger

Yes you are correct. It says 68. I copied and pasted what someone emailed me about it.

What part of the gun is missing? I don’t see where anything is broken. Is it just the tip doesn’t have that round tube? Sorry ,I don’t know the terminology.

Yours isn’t missing anything–the other gun has a completely different front sight with a hood (which is useless anyway).

What you could do to avoid hurting my eyes is swing the rear sight around to its proper opposition, with the pointed end toward the muzzle.  It swivels that way to provide an adjustment for windage–that’s what the little lines on the sight base are for.

Your front sight should be a model 97A which is a 4 part sight. As shown on Rustyjacks post. It is a higher front sight a ramp a keeper and the hood. You can find them on ebay for about $80. Make sure the keeper isn’t broken.
