This single-shot bolt action Winchester .22 rifle was given to me when I was 9 or 10. It stayed in a closet until I was 13, when I "came of age" (plinking-wise, that is).

I'm 67 now (for your time-line assistance).

The rifle has four parts: barrel, bolt, stock (with trigger and a scrolled trigger guard), and a part (unknown noun) that interfaces between trigger and bolt. The sights are hard set - dovetailed in.

It shoots. Has been a decent squirrel and tin can gun.

All information - age, value, etc. is appreciated.

Data below.
Thanks AndyB

LOA 33-3/4";

Barrel - dark mottled (nickel steel??) - 18" to breech, (21-1/4" w/bolt);

Stock 21-1/2" - (wood, one piece w/forearm, Winchester logo butt plate);

Stampings:
(1) (Barrel), left side - "Manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., New Haven Conn. USA Patented August 29,1899." Also: "MOD 02-22 SHORT - LONG OR EXTRA LONG - Trademark Reg. U.S. Pat Off, & Fgn".

(2) (Barrel), behind back sight - an oval containing a centered letter "W", with vertical line through it, forming what appears to be a very long letter "P".

(3) (Bolt), left side - same as above.
