Winchester 55 first year production|Winchester Rifles|Forum|Winchester Collector

Per the factory records, your Model 55 Take Down rifle was manufactured on September 11th, 1924. 

Production of the Model 55 began on June 30th, 1924.  In total, Winchester manufactured approximately 20,600 Model 55 rifles, with the first 12,002 serialized in their own number range.  

I am currently writing a newly revised & updated article that will detail the production history and statistics of the Model 55.  My original article (published in the Winter 2012 edition of “The Winchester Collector” magazine) is now somewhat outdated.

With the addition of your Model 55 rifle, I now have 1,748 documented specimens (and still looking for more).

I had previously documented this rifle, and I noted that it has a Mail Order (P) marked barrel.

Thanks,
