Winchester Model 67A boys rifle

[Junk Yard Dog]

Another one of the rifles I am selling for a customer of mine once I am done fixing and cleaning them. They belonged to his late father who shot them little and stored them long. This one needed a general cleaning and removal of some light rust freckles, the takedown screw was badly buggered and stuck. I got it out, but still need to recut the slot, This is probably the most simple rifle Winchester ever made, single shot, basic bolt action with no provision for cocking on open or close. You open the bolt, drop in a round, close the bolt, pull back on the cocking knob and you are good to go. Overall the 67 was made 1934-63, but the boys rifle didn't start until 1937. This one is rifled, there are smoothbore variations made for the .22 shot cartridge. Trigger and bolt are chrome plated making this one an early rifle from before 1944, but no serial numbers so no way to date it to a particular year.

Similiar setup to my Springfield 15. Those little 22 singleshot bolt guns are fun.

Yes they are, unfortunately I would need to be the size I was at 10 years of age to be able to use it comfortably. It's sized for a boy 8-11 years or so, or girl for that matter, or one of the little people.

Older brother had many of those type of rifles when we were growing up. I remember some of them having the shape of a bell on the bolt knob but can't remember the brand. Amazingly accurate, seems all of them were.... Remember the little single shots they put in sacks of cattle feed many years ago ? Quite a surprise for a farm kid to find a treasure like that back then...

I never had a single shot back then, Marlin model 99 semi auto with a 7 round magazine from 1959-60

It cleaned up nicely. These are neat little rifles, great to start a youngster with.

The Winchester and the Enfield have sold, they aren't mine, I was just asked to find buyers for them and clean them up a bit.

This rifle was the subject of an article in Dillon Precision’s monthly magazine/catalog

They were very popular rifles for many years, a money maker for Winchester during the dark days of the 1930's due to it's simplicity, cheap to manufacture. It's also a rifle the public could afford at that time.
