This Winchester manufactured early variation barreled receiver without scope mounting groove is for the target grade model 69A bolt action rimfire rifle which requires a receiver peep sight and lacks the dovetail in the rear section of the barrel for a standard barrel mounted rear sight. This barreled receiver is in very good condition exhibiting a mixture of original blue finish blending with a brownish gray patina having light wear and a few scattered specks of rust. The receiver is the only part on the model 69A rifle that is tracked as a firearm therefore it will need to be transferred through a dealer. Receivers do not qualify as a C&R based on BATFE's guide lines. (file photos)
