Description:
LG0234 Gunsmiths worthy of the name have always been in short supply everywhere, especially here in West Tennessee. One of the best ones ever was Mr. Rip Fanning, born Innes B. Fanning, 1898 – 1982, who was better known as a Professional Baseball Manager in the middle part of the 20th Century. Mr. Rip served as gunsmith for Anderson Sporting Goods in neighboring Lexington, Tennessee, from his retirement from baseball in the late 1950s until the early 1970s. His refinishing work was his strong suite, more durable and better looking than factory in many cases. Here is a slim stocked Winchester model 67 .22 single shot that Mr. Rip made into a work of art some time in the 1960s for the Parker’s Crossroads cotton farmer who bought it new during the Depression. Mr. Rip restored it just as it left New Haven, bright blue finish, high gloss walnut stock, chrome plated bolt body and handle and extractor; and gold toned trigger. Residual and subsequent finish detractions are negligible. Finishwise, we rate this 67 Winchester Single Shot as Excellent Refinish, but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent. Barrel is the original 27 inches, chambering is for .22 Shot, .22 Long, or .22 Long Rifle catridges. Mechanism is sophisticated and distinctive; this rifle has a wrap-around safety device, one of the best ever designed. Length of pull is 13 inches, a happy medium between 12 inch boys length and 14 3/4 inch adult. Weight empty is 4 pounds 12 ounces, center of gravity under the rear sight. Serial number is 400 range. They don’t make them like this any more; in fact, they never did to begin with until Mr. Rip got hold of this fine old piece. We’re offering it for only $ 269.00.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony.
