Were any of the Model 52's made with left hand actions? Any idea whether this makes them more or less valuable?
I have a 1413 anshultz with right bolt, and left hand thumbhole stock. I
am told this was purchased new this way. But I have not found it in
any old catalogs.
I have an Anschutz set up the same way. It has what I understand to be a factory bolt adaptor. The bolt knob is machined thru, and the adaptor fits in and wraps under the trigger guard. Works fine.
I see these periodically on gunbroker.com, matter of fact, I saw one a couple of weeks ago. I have had to adapt to right hand guns all my life, this works better.
The Martini is a good idea too! One of these days I'd like to get a lefty in one of those as well.
I have had a Win 52b, I still have a Rem 37, and a couple other interesting target rimfires. The Annie mentioned above is far more comfortable for me, as a left hander.
Hope that helps, but everyone is different. I got beat in an auction last summer on a custom, Roy Dunlap left hand action built around a Win 52 bolt with a left hand everything. There are great rifles out there, but hard to find. The Annie I talked about can be had for about the price of a good 52.
Hope your son does great!
