I picked up a Winchester Model 67 single shot .22 for my Grandsons.
This one was made between 1935 and 1944 ... because it has no finger grooves in the stock, there is no "W" logo on the trigger guard and bolt and cocking piece are chromed. The finger grooves in the stock were eliminated in late 1935.
In an effort to render Winchester products more visible when stored vertically on retailers' racks, an inlaid bronze stylized "W" logo was added to the trigger guard in March 1944. The logo was changed to red paint at an unknown later date. In place of the earlier chrome plating, blued finish was used on the bolt, trigger, and cocking piece starting in October 1944.
So while I don't have a definite date I know the period in which it was made.
The rifle was WAY too long for the boys to handle. So I cut it down into a Boy's Rifle. I shortened the barrel to 16.5 inches, shortened the stock and the forend. While the length of pull is short for me, I enjoy shooting it and find it quite easy to use.
