Winchester Moel 61 Research Survey

[2bitrifles]

Hello Model 61 lovers,

I have more than 30 of these fine rifles and I am conducting a research survey of this model. To date I have cataloged just over 1600 rifles in the effort. I am trying to document the percentage of different barrel and chambering combinations in addition to the SN range when the upper tang quit being D&T for a folding peep and when the receiver top was grooved for a scope mount. Could I please get the full SN of your rifle and the chamber marking from the left side of the barrel? In addition note whether the receiver is grooved or smooth and if the upper tang has two small screws in it. You can read some about the work at this forum post:

I truly appreciate any help you are able to give and will answer any questions you have.

Thanks
Michael

I'll dig my last one out and get you the info. Heck, I thought I was bad because I had three of them at one time...
