According to Winchester Arms Collector Organization, this Model 52 was produced in 1931. This rifle is marked "U.S." on the left side of the stock. SPECS: Smooth walnut stock, checkered metal buttplate, 28" barrel with recessed muzzle crown, adjustable folding rear sight "Pat. 1920", Lyman adjustable globe front sight, magazine release button on the right side of the stock, sling rings and Winchester 5-round steel magazine. CONDITION: This gun is in nice condition with some various light wear, has an excellent sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: The Winchester Model 52 is a bolt-action .22-caliber target rifle introduced in 1920. For many years it was the premier smallbore match rifle in the United States, if not the world. Known as the "King of the .22s," the Model 52 was ranked by Field & Stream as one of "the 50 best guns ever made" and described by Winchester historian Herbert Houze as "perfection in design." It was initially hoped that the Army could be persuaded to buy & issue it as a training rifle, in addition to-or in place of-its existing contracts for Model 1885s. Yet despite the outward appearance of its early versions, the Model 52 was never a military rifle, as the Army only purchased 500 for trial purposes, but never placed a bulk order. By the 1970s the World War I-era design was showing its age and had given way in top-level competition to newer match rifles from Walther and Anschütz; the costly-to-produce Model 52, was finally discontinued when US Repeating Arms took over the manufacture of Winchester rifles from Olin Corporation in 1980.
