Lot 585:
Winchester Model 02 Bolt Action Rifle .22 Caliber for Parts/Repair with 18 Inch Barrel
Description
This lot features a Winchester Model 02 bolt-action rifle barrel and action assembly, chambered for .22 caliber rimfire cartridges. This single-shot, cocking-piece bolt-action design is a refinement of the Model 1900 and was manufactured between 1902 and 1931. The assembly includes an 18-inch round barrel with an integral receiver, a bolt with a knurled pull knob, a post front sight, and a fixed notch rear sight. Significant barrel markings are visible on the left side in a two-line transcription. Line one reads: MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. — MOD. 02 — 22 SHORT — WINCHESTER —. Line two reads: NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A. PATENTED AUGUST 29, 1899 — LONG OR EXTRA LONG — TRADE MARK REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. & FGN. These markings indicate the firearm was designed to accommodate .22 Short, Long, or Extra Long cartridges. This item is being sold as a parts gun only and is missing several critical components, including the stock, trigger, trigger guard, and take-down screw. No serial number is visible on the assembly, which is consistent with the early production of this model. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The metal surfaces of the barrel and receiver exhibit heavy overall oxidation, surface rust, and pitting throughout. The blued finish has largely transitioned to a dark brown patina with significant texture from corrosion. The bore has not been internally inspected, but the muzzle shows signs of oxidation. The bolt action appears to move, and the knurled cocking knob is intact. The sights are present but show heavy wear and oxidation. As an incomplete assembly missing the trigger mechanism and stock, the mechanical function has not been tested and the item is sold for parts or repair only.
