People! At 55 seconds into this post you will see this firearms enthusiast YANK the trigger on the old rifle in this post. He would be getting much greater accuracy with that wonderful old .22 if he simply squeezed the trigger and NOT yanked it! Great post ! Very educational!!
This brilliant John Browning design was adopted In Australia's Lithgow factory for our no.1 rifle. They then modified it by attaching the trigger to the receiver (model 1a and 1b). We kept the grooved forend throughout production (about 220,000). A few of your Winchesters floating around here in oz too. Nice video.
I have the older version and its my personal favorite. I can verify that it is indeed, very accurate at 100 yards. I had a dime I shot at 50 yards on a keychain as a kid.
I bought one several months ago that was exactly like this. My research showed that with the recessed take down screw, production was around Nov-Dec 1937
Hola soy de argentina, encontre ese rifle en la casa de un cliente le pregunte si estaba en venta y no dudo en vendermelo.. Esta un poco en desuso pero le puse aceite y acomode su resorte y funciona, todavia no lo probé con municiones. Le falta el seguro de atrás. Pero lo demos esta intacto.. No sabía que era una reliquia y que tiene muchos años

@Jack So? That's the way he shoots. He may not be an accuracy buff like most of us.

If someone insults your rifles down under does it always result in a fight?
@Peter Lazzari That's some interesting information and history! Thanks. Greetings from Texas!

@Brett Johnson Hitting that dime at 50 yards, with your young eyes, was quite an impressive shot. Something you never forget! Congrats!

What about the rear and front sight?? Can they be removed without damaging any of it?
The front sight is held in with a dovetail which can be driven out. Haven't tried the rear sight
This was my first rifle....
This is currently my first rifle
I just acquired one... Any idea where I could yet a full bolt assembly and bolt? Thanks in advance

DId they make any Jr's with a grooved forearm? I know the early 67's started out grooved.
My Dad had one. I took it into the fields by my home when I was 11 and up till the city banned shooting in city limits.
Thank you
Thanks! Mine looks almost exactly like that one.
Did you ever find if there was a serial number? Like maybe on the bottom of the barrel or something?
@woodworker Royer No serial numbers on these rifles. The NFA of 1968 required all firearms to be serialized.
Any way I can clean the exterior of the barrel and stock
@¡Classic Pepe Yes, there is a way to clean the exterior of the barrel and stock.
Only advice on that one would be gunpartscorp or possibly gunbroker... Good luck and thanks for watching!
I think it was manufactured from 1934 to 1960s
Should have taken the time to video re-assembly. The extractor isn't as easy to get in, as get out. Otherwise, nice video.
thanks for watching, much appreciated
