1957Buck Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) My fall project was to Rebuild and Refinish My Father's Winchester Model 69A 22 Cal. he got it as a Boy around 1938 0r so. I refinished the Stock and applied just a finish restore no clear coats. I had to replace The Trigger, Sear, Safety. Trigger spring. Got it all from Numrich Arms NY They must have parts galore just looked at breakdown of Rifle on their site for part # and they took care of the rest. Also added a Scope. Drilled and tapped holes myself. I have seen prices on Gunbroker from $549. to $150. And this one is by far in better condition then the $549. But will never sell it. The bench rest I also made originally for my Pistol. but works just great for the Rifle. Shown raw and than stained. I also did the gunsmithing on the pistol for the Picatinny mount and Red Dot Site. Pistol also 22ca Smith & Wesson Also cheated with white liner in butt pad not original Edited January 22, 2017 by 1957Buck SxSshooter, Axiom, LPJR and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard1100 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 My grand father left me his 69A but it's missing the bolt. It's in mint condition. Did you notice of numrichs carried bolts for these guns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1957Buck Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 My grand father left me his 69A but it's missing the bolt. It's in mint condition. Did you notice of numrichs carried bolts for these guns Yes, they most likely do be it whole or parts And they do not over charge. I have also seen parts on Ebay but are used over priced. Theirs is all New satisfaction Guaranteed. I even had to return one that I made a mistake just paid return shipping. FYI it seems parts for the older firearms fit out of the box not so with newer Firearms If you decide to refinish the stock it is most likely Rock Maple very hard I used a Paint scraper one direction with the grain to remove the finish. Varnish Do Not use a clear Coat such as Varnish, Urethane. I used Formby's furniture restore Only just Follow instructions. Also, this rifle is very accurate hope the Bore is in good shape Good Luck Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
