Sandman1957 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Gents, Any idea if this scope looks original to the rifle or not? Friend of mine Uncle passed away and I am trying to get more photos on this. Good chance I may get to offer it here first. Gun is in another state, so wanted to get some info here before I spend too much time on this. From this one photo the gun looks in pretty good shape. What kind of marks or stampings would be on this if it was a military trainer? Thanks in advance,Sandman1957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I don't think the scope was offered with the gun originally. I'm away from my books at the moment to check on your markings question. I seem to recall that these were in civilian use prior to being adopted by the military, and I recall some fake military marking concerns with one in the past. I'm going from memory. There's a good amount of information on them in the Rimfire forums. David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougStump Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I'd take it (if I could afford it)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 David is correct that Winchester 75's pre date WW2, I own a 4 digit Winchester 75 made in 1939. I has a 6 X 1-1/4 Unertl Target scope serial number 500 on it. I would get the serial number and check the date of manufacture which should help you date if it is a WW2 trainer. My guess is with with the 1"Unertl scope on it it may have been a smallbore rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
