Title: Winchester model 69 ?
Post by: MountainWalk on May 15, 2014, 04:14:49 PM: Was at a gun store and noticed they had one of these that was badly tapped for a scope and had the sight base hacksawed off. Three hundred bucks! Holy smokes. any how, the tag said no serial number. Well, I have one as well, with the winchester fsctory peep sight, in much beyer shape. Went home an looked. Sure enough,, no serial number.. Why is this? Its an older rifle(34-41). Any idea on its value?

I'll bet there are as many without as there are with, really common.
