I know they were advertised by Unertl as far back as 1949, and I believe they were available up to the point when they closed their doors. I checked some old Shooter's Bibles, and did not see any mention of the dehorned mounts in the '47-48 publications. However, that is not proof positive that...

Not really enough good pictures to ID. It sure is interesting though. If you have some more pictures detailing the receiver please post them or you can email them direct to seewinr@aol.com. I collect 52's and all things 52, so I find it very interesting. There were many 52 clones manufactured by...

From what little I have shot it, it does very well. It is not really set up for bench shooting, but will hold its own with any of my factory or custom 52's. Steve

I was hoping one of our readers could shed some light on this 22 competition rifle. It was manufactured by "N. Gersley" in Roselle Park, NJ. I'm guessing it is an early to mid 50's rifle based on the fact that it uses a Winchester 52B bolt and trigger. The rifle currently has a Canjar triger...

Take a look on Rimfire Central classifieds.

I assume when you say "barrel band", you are referring to the models with the heavy forging band that went around forearm and barrel. Models with the wide Marksman stock (only B&C) models used a barrel band as well. However this was a very thin sheet metal band that wrapped around barrel only...

Fred, I never much cared for the mounts on the B&L's, but their is not much argument, they had the best glass of their day. I have owned several of the Balvar and Balfor hunting scopes and to this day, I think they are great. If I recall correctly, B&L supplied Unertl's glass also. Steve

Scope is outstanding. The glass is every bit the quality of my Unertls, if not better. It works great. Tried it on the 52 it came with and it works super. Just wish I could get some info on it. Steve

I am trying to get some additional information on a target scope that came with one of my 52's. Hoping someone here might be able to enlighten me. It is an "El Monte" 10-30 Target scope. It is very unique in that the paralax adjustment is center mounted like a Fecker, and it is a 10-30 variable...

If you are not concerned with exact originality, Gun Parts Corporation(Numrich Arms) has some new 52E std wt barrel stocks for sale. I think they are about $150. They are identical to the D stocks with the exception they do not have provisions for the forearm tuning device like the D. They come...

I sent you a PM on this.

Based on what I can see, it could be a 52B or before. It is definitely not a 52C or later. Steve

Fred, Look's to me like Eley allowed some debris to collect on their bunting die used to stampe the "E" in the base, or possible dirt or debris in the loading machine. A hardness test on brass would have a different appearance than what you have shown. Brass is typically tested using the...

I just received word that one of junior shooters, Allison Behler has lost her father to a heart attack at 47 years old. Allison is the grandaughter of Robert and Sharon Meade and is a regular ARA junior participant in matches throughout the Midwest as well as a regular at the Nationals for the...

I would completely remove the band. It has always been my experience that they shoot more consistently without the band. If all original, you will also find small strips of neoprene under the action and rear of barrel. You can try shoot with and w/o them to see what works better. I do know that...

Have you tried completely backing off the barrel tensioning screw so that the barrel will be free floating? Steve

Henshaw was indeed the maker of the trigger shoe. Tom Henshaw worked for Winchester from 1951 until only a few years ago. His father manufactured trigger shoes back in the 40's and 50's. Tom told me his job was saw the blank shoes everyday after school for his father. If you look in the...

Winchester started this on their 52E's and later Model 70 targets. They claimed it improved accuracy. I think it was more of a marketing ploy than anything. I have to believe if someone was looking for the best place to crown a barrel, it would be much easier just to cut it where needed and...

B.Johnson, I would be interested. Please email me at seewinr@aol.com, and let me know what you have. Steve

A Canjar or Kenyon is the best fix. Not much you can do with the factory B trigger. They are a pretty antiquated design that was not designed to go below 3 lbs or so. There are other custom triggers out there for the B like the Thomas, Grable, Bell etc. However I have never seen much advantage...
