Looking for a Model 69 (not the later 69A). The model is 6902. Must be in 98% or better condition. Must also be factory original. No holes, re-blued, refinished or reworked guns. The factory bluing must be full original “blue”… not flaking (very common) or “brown” (also common). I will gladly pay up for the right rifle. Please, this is a very specific request… no other variation will work. Please send pics & price. Seller must actually possess the gun, be a member in good standing on this forum. Please don’t bother “phishing”. I have a C&R so it can be sent directly to me. I will also be at the Cody show next month. Below is a pic of the “type” of 69 I am searching for. thanks in advance. Ben

I’m sure some of you may be wondering, “why a 69?”…. well, this box is lonely. 🙂

With the run you’re on, I imagine you’ll find one! Pretty intact box, good hunt! I’ll keep an eye out.

Ben,
That box was also used for the very early 69A (circa 1938). Winchester did not initially differentiate the 69 and 69A, they were both considered catalog # G6902R.
That is a decent box but why do they all seem to have a water stain and paint spatter? 😉

Jeff, Hate to say it, but several high grade rifles I’ve seen were evidently left in the closet when the woodwork of the house was repainted, too! They will have a few drips of off white enamel paint on them!! I think Jim Curlovic will also agree! Tim

Here’s a pics of the 69 box when I picked it up at the Oregon Collectors show in Portland in 2018…
I’ve had some nice boxed Winchester’s over the years… “friends” keep talking me out of them….:)

Ben, I have the Model 69 rifle (G6902 Type1) that you might have been interested in (although in probably about 90% condition). It doesn’t meet your factory original requirements anymore since I checkered the stock. I purchased the rifle at a local gun show specifically because the stock was in excellent condition, and it was a relatively inexpensive Winchester on which to practice my checkering skills. I think it turned out ok, although I’ve improved some since this attempt.
Any chance you’d be interested in selling the box?

The metal is great… the wood is nice, but not quite what I’m in need of. This is one of those projects where the “sum of the parts” is much more valuable than the individual parts… I want to bring all the pieces together. thanks.
