Found a first year issue (late 1934 to early 1935) Winchester 67 at a local pawn shop. Ive been wanting something super cheap to knock down coke cans with my son. He has a Savage Rascal with a Walnut stock, so it needed to be something that looked similar to his and not fancy like other 22s I've had.
This 67 had a cracked forend, a chunk of stock missing near the reciever, a teribble stock refinishing job, and most of the blueing is worn off. Its a single shot that will shoot Colibris, shorts, longs, and lr. After a quick test fire in the yard, I decided its still a shooter.
I didnt get a pic before i started messing with it, but I got the stock stripped down and smooth, glued the crack back up, and have a few coats of Tru Oil on it now.
'Now just trying to decide if I should leave the barreled action alone, or clean it up too.
