Description
The A-Series Model 43 - serial number: 22579A 1950 Mfg. The "A-series" Model 43 refers to a change Winchester made to the design in 1950 and is identified by an "A" suffix added to the serial number. Along with the change in the location of the serial number, the "A" suffix was added to note a pretty significant design change, the locking lug. The locking lug's size and shape and the corresponding receiver channel were changed. The locking lug was made more narrow and taller, which we can assume was done to strengthen the lock-up of the bolt during firing. The Winchester Model 43 is a relatively little-known rifle compared to the company's many legends, such as the Model 94 and Model 70. Manufactured from 1948 to 1953, the Model 43 was chambered for the 25-20 Win, 32-20 Win, 218 Bee, and 22 Hornet cartridges. This small framed bolt-action rifle is a perfect varmint rifle that is both accurate and reliable.
