WINCHESTER ~ MODEL 71 ~ .348 WINCHESTER

The Winchester Model 71 employs a refined lever-action cycle derived from earlier designs, featuring dual vertical locking lugs that slide within receiver raceways to engage cutouts on the bolt, ensuring secure closure and smooth operation for reliable cartridge feeding and extraction.2 This mechanism provides exceptional strength, allowing the rifle to safely handle high-pressure loads without compromising the action's fluidity. Serial Number: 39084 - 1953 mfg. The rifle's metal is in fantastic shape for its age, the rear portion of the stock does not seem to match the condition of the metal. All of the use marks are in the clear coat, there are not any significant scratches and no cracks.
