Winchester Model 67 c.1937ish

[@orionbennett776]

Days after I got out of the Navy, Dec 1972, I walked into a pawn shop in Phoenix, Arizona, and walked out with my 67a .... it cost me $19.00 ... best purchase I ever made. I still have it, and it is extremely accurate, and durable. No problems ever ... and a lot of small game in my belly due to my 67a.

[@oddballschtuff]

You have to make your shots count with these, but it helps that they are tack drivers! Thanks for sharing and for your service!

[@garysmith3913]

Excellent, instructive video. Loved the slow motion showing the internal cycling action.

[@oddballschtuff]

Thanks, I was thinking I need to take it out again soon and plink some targets!

[@tomray4139]

I have an identical rifle, handed down from my Father who had it as a young boy. It has rhe recessed bottom screw and chrome plated bolt and has the same verbiage stamped on the top. The information on the year it was made is very valuable to me. Thanks you.

[@oddballschtuff]

Glad I could help, I love these old single shots! Having one from your dad makes it even cooler!

[@fredericktaylor2891]

I have an earlier version of the Winchester 67, same mechanism and function but the fore stock has finger grooves.

[@oddballschtuff]

That’s really sweet, I think those are from ‘34-‘36, the first production. I love these guns, they are simple, accurate, and have a good history and heritage.

[@unclejohn1053]

Finally.. something older than me. Very cool.. thanks!

[@oddballschtuff]

Old guys rule!

[@barryharrison2441]

I still have a 67. This gun is deadly accurate.

[@oddballschtuff]

That’s pretty cool. They are surprisingly fun to shoot for a single shot!

[@ChrisFromThe740]

That is a really cool rifle and It was cool to see it work separated from the stock. Great video as always

[@oddballschtuff]

Thanks man! I don’t think it would be such a fun gun to shoot, being a single shot and having to cock it each time, but I love that thing.

[@keithtate1241]

Very nice rifle. It reminds me of my first rifle. Thanks for the video.

[@oddballschtuff]

Right on, what was your first rifle?

[@keithtate1241]

@@oddballschtuff it was a single shot 22 short bolt action rifle. My home was broken into in the mid 80's all my firearms were stolen and it was the only one I cried over. My father gave it to me so I could hunt with him when I was 5 and his uncle gave it to him when he was 5.

[@oddballschtuff]

@@keithtate1241 dang, that is heart breaking! I hate thieves!

[@lylewitt7393]

Fairly common, I have 6 - 67's, and a 67a. Nice little rifles!

[@oddballschtuff]

Nice thing is is you can pick these up for a fair cost if you’re interested in it. They shoot good, they work well, and it’s a John Browning gun. Could you ask for a little cheap single shot rifle.

[@lylewitt7393]

@@oddballschtuff A couple years ago, I picked one up at an auction missing the bolt, got it for next to nothing. I figured I could find a bolt at a decent price. I have bought parts off of ebay, some of the businesses that sell parts, but the price that I've seen that people want for just the bolt, is more than I paid for most of the complete ones I have. I'll keep checking, once in a while one ebay, things come up for a decent price, I just keep checking there, but not getting my hopes up.

[@HobbiesHobo]

I sold many of those in years past when I was in the gun business, in Canada though, Cooey was king! Winchester later bought Cooey though. Mike.

[@unclejim2330]

I remember those Cooey’s 🤭

[@oddballschtuff]

That is pretty cool! I will have to look up Cooey one of these days.

Tengo una winchister mod 67 cal 22 y se me perdio el serrojo y lo nesecito como ago

[@joshhencik1849]

I took mine apart, reblued and refinished the stock, polished the internals, etc. Now, after I put it back together, the bolt is really hard to retract. I don't remember if it was that way when I bought it or not. Any ideas why that might be?

[@oddballschtuff]

Something may be out of alignment, but without seeing it it’s tough. Is there any extra build up on the pieces after refinishing? There is and should be a little bit of resistance with how the shell ejector works. Possibly after cleaning it it allowed the detent to catch and operate more effectively? Does it cycle properly and does it eject ammunition properly?

[@joshhencik1849]

@@oddballschtuff It cycles properly. Haven't tried a live round, but I should do that. Will report back. These are so simple, there is really only one way to put them together. Not sure how I could have messed it up.

[@oddballschtuff]

@@joshhencik1849yeah, they are super simple. It seams like there should be a little resistance then a release that helps the shell eject, if I remember correctly. If that’s not it, I’ll get mine out in the next few days and double check. Let me know if I need to do a video on the action cycling?

[@joshhencik1849]

@@oddballschtuff Thanks for all your help. It's still stiff, but loosened up a bit when I played with the leaf spring under the ejector. I think that spring may have gotten warped a bit and put too much tension on the ejector. I'd never tell you NOT to do a video! 😃 but I think I have the issue solved. Thanks again!

[@oddballschtuff]

I finally got a video on it posted. Sorry it took so long.

[@Jake-st5mm]

Great video. Is the front sight factory or aftermarket? I'm looking for a replacement.

[@oddballschtuff]

It is original. I found this www.gunpartscorp.com/products/82550W On Numrich’s website. Thanks for watching.

[@Jake-st5mm]

@@oddballschtuff you're a life saver! Thanks.

[@garysykes755]

Thanks also for the website. I found a rear sight elevator

[@oddballschtuff]

@@garysykes755 I’m glad that worked out!

[@LilYeshua]

Yeah,I bought that front sight too however it's too loose for the dovetail. I'm thinking about putting the original back in. The reason I purchased that particular front sight because long decades ago my brother filed the bead off for more precise long distance shooting. I wonder if I can heat up that newer front sight while off the rifle and apply some solder to it then file the solder down for a nice tight dovetail fit b

[@denniswiemer72]

The second rifle, a Marlin 990?

[@oddballschtuff]

I never have seen or heard of that one before, but that looks like a sweet gun. I would love to find one someday! I love tube fed rifles. Will it shoot shorts by chance? Not a deal breaker by any means, just curious.

[@denniswiemer72]

@@oddballschtuff possibly, but I believe you’d have cycling issues with shorts. It is accurate with 22LR. Tube holds 17 rounds

[@oddballschtuff]

@@denniswiemer72 if I do ever find one, I’ll have to make a video on it. Looks like a cool gun! It’s my kind of .22.

[@codywilmoth738]

Marlin Model 60?

[@oddballschtuff]

I have one of those too and it’s fantastic.

[@unclejim2330]

Neat old rifles, nice camera work but you didn’t show all of that fabulous hat and your gold ring was distracting me like a cat. CAT! 😂

[@oddballschtuff]

CAT! I get distracted by lasers more easily than I like to admit. I will have to have to let that hat make a reappearance one of these days.

Yes, rock the hat. 👍

That would be a sweet gun. I looked those up and I am a sucker for magazine tube fed rifles.

I think after Jan 38. Your extractor is modified to throw farther. (Wiki check) Mine is Oct 37 to end of year and the extractor is a joke compared to yours.

[@oddballschtuff]

Good to know, thank you very much. There’s so many little quirks to help date these, I was not aware of that.
