- Lot Description
.22 S/L/LR, 25" tapered barrel, no S/N. Blued finish, smooth, pistol-gripped walnut stock with plain forend, magazine fed. This Model 697 is circa 1937. It is equipped with the rare early Carolyn 5-power scope. Note the low bases and the rear base is forward of the receiver ring, a sure indication of an early gun. A gun identical to this one is shown on the cover of the 1937 sales flyer introducing the telescope-sight .22 rim fire rifles. Although the barrel is marked "Model 69," this is a very early Model 697, as the receiver has a blank where the rear peep sight would normally go. It has a scarce correct 69-marked .22 SHORT magazine. 1,431 Model 697 rifles were produced with many going to England for WWII.
**C&R or FFL requiredFine, retains most of the blued finish with some lightly scattered surface oxidation. Mechanically functional, fine, bright bore. Stock with light handling marks. Clear optics, scope body with some finish loss.Condition
