New Winchester 52B

[CalFed]

Yesterday I glommed a couple of .22 rimfires, including this 52B.






Only the auction pics for now. Better when it arrives

I also got a Remington 513T/Fecker scope combination at the same auction.

That looks like a lot of fun.

Thanks, guys!

Good luck finding a steady supply of ammo

[CalFed]

I've got some from the CMP that I picked up before the craziness...

I had a good quantity come in just a week before Newtown, I just happened to see a sale and bought up a bunch, pure chance.

Someone on another forum suggested that it might have a "Canjar trigger". Is that good?

Here is a bigger pic of the trigger

This is a nice rimfire rifle. You can't glomme these too cheaply these days.

[CalFed]

Thanks, bd.

I got a pretty good deal on this and the Remington

[bunkysdad]

My phone word corrected glomme to glimmer. I meant glomme. As in you glommed a fantastic rifle. I am fascinated by the word. I never heard it before. Australian? Canadian? I like it.

[CalFed]

The best I can come up with on the origins of the word is the Scottish "glaum", which is defined as "to grab or snatch at something" Seems to be a good fit.

I seem to recall that it was used by the Beatniks in the 50's, although I think it's use could have pre-dated the Beatniks.

It's like when I tell my wife my son absconded with my car keys. Or I am gonna abscond with another piece of pie. And she just looks at me like I am making it up. So I tell her that pie is larapin! :P

The Winchester arrived along with the Remington at my FFL. Both arrived in good shape and appear to be "as advertised". Better pics when the 10 day wait is over.

[Ironnewt]

Hey it's been 10 days!!!!

[CalFed]

Yeah...I'm having my FFL hold these rifles until the Winchester 52D arrives so I can DROS them as a lot for one DROS fee. I hate paying California anymore than I absolutely have to.

[MCR]

A (D) and a (B)..... dang, your on a 52 roll

[Ironnewt]

You certainly are.

[CalFed]

I finally picked up my rifles from the FFL and took some pics.

I also glommed a 52D. The 52B is not in as nice a shape as the D, but it ain't bad. Wood and metal are very good, with a few small spots of surface rust. Bluing on the receiver is not bright and glossy like the D.







Vaver sight seems to work perfectly. I've been told this is a Canjar trigger. It is very light, with no creep over overtravel
