      Thanks for taking the time to comment. It does my heart good to bring some enjoyment to viewers like you. Squirrel season starts in August here in Tennessee, so stay tuned. God willing, I should have some more small game content coming soon.

    You got a winner there. I’ll bet that guy you beat out on that auction is crying. That was a lot of fun sitting up with you on the phone on that auction. Great job on the refinishing. That gun sure loves those CCI Short HP’s. When you shot that first group with the Shorts and finished up with those last four rounds, they all went through the same hole and didn’t so much as touch the sides of the hole. Congratulations, my friend, on a great score!!!! That thing should knock the snot out of the Tennessee Spring squirrels, can’t wait to see that video.

    I do have the 1935 Winchester 69 the bolt cocks on closing and cam3 with factory peep sights. It also has a 7 shot long rifle magazine ,a 5 shot long , and a 5 shot short magazine all marked Winchester on the bottom.

    I have my dads 69a. He bought it used when I was a kid probably close to 60 years ago. I hadn’t shot it in years. I bought a new Leupold for it and took it out this afternoon for squirrels and got three. It’s always been a good shooter. Thanks for reviving my interest in it! All the metal parts and barrel on mine look browned. Always has looked like that. I showed it to a friend and he thought it was blued and was just patina. Have you ever heard of a 69a that was browned and not blued?

    • @CumberlandOutdoorsman
      @CumberlandOutdoorsman  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think your friend is right. I don't think Winchester browned their rifles. That "brown patina" is a common characteristic in older guns.

  • @ronaldpetersen255
    @ronaldpetersen255 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love my Winchester 69a, it has the grooved receiver and I’m running a vintage Weaver K4 on that rig.
    John Abendshien authored what I consider the finest book for model specific books ever written, titled The Winchester Model 69 and its encyclopedic. A little pricey, but after they sell out(1000 copies) it will shoot up in value fwiw.
    You may well know this, new in box they came with a five round lr. AND five round Short magazines. Winchester also made a 10 round magazine. Don’t buy the Proline 10 rd aftermarket, they are junk unlike the Wisner’s.
    Really enjoy your videos-Ron

    • @CumberlandOutdoorsman
      @CumberlandOutdoorsman  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Those old Winchesters have a certain appeal. I have been looking for an older Weaver like your K4. I personally think it would look more appropriate on my 69A. Thanks for the info, and for your support.

  • @stevehammond9156
    @stevehammond9156 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have my Dad's Win Mod 69a. It is a very accurate rifle and a sheer pleasure to shoot. I had a pair of weaver bases installed on mine and have a small 3-9x scope mounted. The barrel had a little bit of pitting on it so I had a gunsmith remove the pitting and hot re-blue it. I removed the old finish from the stock, bleached it to remove the stain and then re-stained it Minwax Special Walnut and put 8 coat of Tru-Oil on it. It is a beauty! With standard commercial grade Remington ammunition I can easily fire a group at 50 yds you can cover with a nickel. There is no takeup in the trigger and it has a super clean break. No one makes .22's of this quality any more unless you want to spend $500+.
    There are 10 round knock off magazines available for this rifle but don't waste your money. They are JUNK and consistently misfeed. I still have the .22 short magazine in addition to the LR one, but shorts are so hard to find nowadays it just stays in the gun cabinet.

    I’ve got a first year production 69. It has the factory receiver mounted peep sight. Very accurate 88 year old rifle. Have a late 40s model 72 that I’m thinking of drilling and tapping for a scope. Enjoyed seeing your old Winchester.

    And thank you for another pleasant video presentation.
    While you were talking toward the end I had a thought, (yeah I do get those every now and then, couple times a week, lol)
    So what if you set up a first shot target sticker apart from the rest,
    - then every time you get done cleaning the barrel, aim at that target sticker only with your first shot.
    I wonder what kind of a group that would have after 6 or 8 rounds?
    Plus your barrel would be at least
    'first-shot-seasoned'
    - so the next five round group might not have any funky first shot flyers.
    Just a thought 🤔

      @@CumberlandOutdoorsman I collect winchester rimfires and scope most of them with Unertl Hawk 4x scopes. They are not easy to find, but they are incredible scopes! Perfect for rimfires in my opinion. If you ever find an old Unertl scope for a reasonable price, you should give it a try.
      Also, you hit the lottery on that factory walnut stock! I have collected winchester 69s for years and the wood is rarely as nice as that! Looks like a block meant for the 75 sporter found its way into the 69a pile at the factory.
